HC Deb 06 May 1993 vol 224 c206W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what investigations the National Physical Laboratory has made into hum noise complaints relating to low frequency noise; and what results were published.

Mr. Leigh

The National Physical Laboratory has not carried out any investigations into hum noise complaints in recent years.

I would refer the hon. Member to the Building Research Establishment, an agency of the Department of the Environment, where I understand some work of this kind is pursued.
