answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2022 answer text <p>The law does not allow a driver to hold both a GB and an EU driving licence at the same time. Any driver holding an EU driving licence must surrender it before a GB licence can be issued. This is an important provision which helps prevent the circumvention of the system of driving licence endorsements and disqualification for road traffic offences. There are no plans to amend this provision.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 31/01/2022 14:48:51 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2022 answer text <p>The Government takes the impact of traffic noise on health, wellbeing and the natural environment seriously. Vehicles are required to meet strict noise limits before being placed on the market and police have powers to act if they suspect a vehicle is making excessive amounts of noise.</p><p> </p><p>On 2 August, the Department published the results of research into enforcement against excessive noise pollution from vehicles using “acoustic cameras”. This research has shown that the technology has the potential to be used for enforcement, but that there are still difficulties in accurately measuring noise from individual vehicles in busier traffic conditions. There is an active research programme to address these challenges and, in the longer term, create new tools for enforcement.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 31/01/2022 14:45:05 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
