The Minister has moved on from responding to amendment No. 3. Although she made a large number of comments, they mostly relate to the output. She does not seem to have answered the first point, which is why should there not be a 12-monthly report on measures. I take her point that there is now a   diversity of noise measures, although I was not quite clear what the framework is for using them. What is the objection to having a 12-monthly framework for reporting on these matters? It would hardly be an expensive arrangement and it would be a good way of reassuring public opinion.
