Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment her Department has made of the evidence on the effectiveness of noise camera technology in reducing disruptive noise pollution; and what preventative measures the Government is taking to tackle that problem.

The Department has recently commenced research to understand if the latest ‘noise camera’ technology can be an effective enforcement tool for the police that will enable more targeted, efficient and effective enforcement.

The research will be published in due course.
