question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to hold an inquiry into testing processes for emissions from diesel vehicles and so-called "defeat" devices.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL2924
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2015 answer text <p><strong></strong>There is no plan to hold an inquiry, however, the Government is taking this issue very seriously. The Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA), the UK vehicle approval authority, is working to ensure that the use of defeat devices is not industry wide. VCA is rerunning laboratory tests starting with those VW Group engines for which VCA has provided approvals. These tests are comparing real world driving emissions against laboratory performance.</p><br /><p>There is no evidence that these emissions tests have been falsified in the UK.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 30/10/2015 10:03:19 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
