This is a major issue in the midlands. One would want to be sleeping in an ivory tower not to know about it. I understand Mr. Bowdler is an advisor on acoustics and his experience in this area stretches back to 1976. He has made a comprehensive submission to the wind energy guidelines review. Will he summarise the key points of his submission and, in particular, how the noise could affect a quiet rural area as opposed to an industrialised area, particularly in view of set-backs or distances from affected properties?

Papers produced on both sides of the argument deal with the effects on health. Dr. Hanning is an expert on sleep disorders. Will he outline from his professional perspective the impact of noise on people's health and the various types of noise that can arise, such as low-frequency noise?

Will Mr. Duncan address the issue of the depreciation in property values?
