Noise Insulation

Mr. Geoffrey Johnson Smith
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total expenditure of local authorities in Scotland on noise insulation schemes in each of the past three years for which figures are available ; and what estimates he has made of the expenditure on such schemes in each of the next three years.

Mr. Rifkind
I regret that this information is not collected centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
