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

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they are taking any action to prevent damage to footpaths and bridleways by off road vehicles and trail bikes; and if so, what this action entails.

uin	HL17709
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Some public rights of way allow for the legal use of motor vehicles. Footpaths and bridleways however do not.

Local authorities have the power to make traffic regulation orders to close routes to motorised vehicles if any problems occur, provided they fully consider and respond to any representations they receive about a proposed order.</p><p>In response to last year’s report from the House of Lords Select Committee on the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006, Defra is currently working with Natural England and stakeholders to assess current use of traffic regulation orders and refresh the guidance for local authorities.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 09/09/2019 11:09:14 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
