question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government how many spot checks were made by the enforcement agencies on large goods vehicle and heavy goods vehicle emissions in each of the last three years for which figures are available.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
uin	HL17707
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) does not conduct roadside spot checks on lorries, solely for emissions. The DVSA does conduct roadside mechanical spot checks on lorries, which include a check for emissions control equipment (cheat devices). Over the last three years the DVSA has carried out the following roadside mechanical spot checks on lorries:<br></p><p>2016/2017 – 110,570</p><p>2017/2018 – 108,050</p><p>2018/2019 – 95,280</p><p> </p><p>The number of checks has reduced year-on-year because the DVSA now carries out targeted enforcement of seriously and serially non-compliant vehicles. Targeted enforcement allows compliant operators to conduct their business without expecting their vehicles to be subject to random checks.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 09/09/2019 15:11:56 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
