INTERNATIONAL NOISE AWARENESS DAY

Early day motion 2021, tabled 24 April 2006 by Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 51 members.

That this House places on record its appreciation to the UK Noise Association, a coalition of key organisations lobbying on different aspects of noise, for the continued work it undertakes in seeking to tackle the increasing nuisances and problems caused by unnecessary noise; notes that 26th April is the 11th International Noise Awareness Day; congratulates the UK Noise Association for supporting this event which is concerned with the effects of noise on young people; notes that studies have proved that a noisy environment impairs children's health and their cognitive development and that those most at risk are children exposed to aircraft or traffic noise; is concerned that children living in a noisy household may not get the peace and quiet they need to improve their speech and communication skills; and calls on the Government to promote quiet times for young people to help with children's learning and development.
