HC Deb 22 January 2001 vol 361 cc453-4W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what recent guidance he has issued to local authorities concerning the implementation and policing of the legislation on noise nuisance. [145006]

Mr. Hill

We have not issued guidance to local authorities on this matter, recently. However, we have issued a consultation paper, following a review of the Noise Act 1996, setting out further options for local authorities to use in tackling noise nuisance. The closing date for comments is 31 March.

Copies of the report and consultation paper are available in the House Library.
