HC Deb 15 June 1995 vol 261 cc616-7W
Ms Glenda Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what evaluation he has undertaken of the likely effects on(a) night-time noise levels and (b) levels of particulate matter in the ambient air of his Department's proposals to abolish the London night-time and weekend lorry ban. [28667]

Mr. Norris

The clear intention of our proposals to enhance the London lorry ban is to improve noise and emission levels. The extent of any improvement has not been formally assessed.
