For example; the DVSA has powers in respect of the enforcement of commercial road transport offences but does not have the same enforcement powers in respect of private cars or motorcycles. In all cases it remains the user’s responsibility to ensure the vehicle continues to meet these emissions standards at all times while in use.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 28/05/2019 11:23:03 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
