answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2016 answer text <p>Members of the public can report excessively smoky lorries and buses to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency through their website (https://www.gov.uk/report-smoky-vehicle). There is no similar reporting system for cars or other vehicles. However all vehicles must meet strict standards before they enter service, as well as standards which must be maintained at all times while a vehicle is in service. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the vehicle meets the necessary limit requirements at all times.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/07/2016 14:45:17 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
