Select Committee on Crossrail Bill Minutes of Evidence


Examination of Witnesses (Questions 7220 - 7226)

  7220. The local authorities were advocating a minus 5 dB design criterion. If BS4142 is not to be used, what can that minus 5 dB design criterion be based upon?
  (Mr Thornely-Taylor) It has no meaning whatever outside the definitions of BS4142.

  7221. Mr Taylor: Thank you very much.

  7222. Chairman: Thank you very much. We will resume tomorrow at 10 am and hear the second witness.

  7223. Mr Straker: It might be useful if I mention, so far as timing for tomorrow is concerned, that I would not expect the second tranche of my case to take anything like the time that the noise aspect has taken.

  7224. Chairman: That is good.

  7225. Mr Straker: The third tranche of my case will not take even that smaller amount of time; because I am not calling any evidence in relation to it, I am simply making certain observations to you in submissions apropos the enforceability of the undertaking that has been given.

  7226. Chairman: It will help members of the Committee to meet with staff and to review the work that it has been doing over the last few days. Thank you.
