§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps have been taken by his Department towards developing a co-ordinated noise level monitoring database for the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. MacleanNone. However, we have recently completed the national noise incidence study which involved noise measurements being made outside 1,000 homes in England and Wales during 1990 and has provided a benchmark on how noisy the country is. The results of the study will be published later this year.
