	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text <p>The Order, if approved by Parliament, would give the Secretary of State power to delegate some of his existing statutory functions to a non-public sector body. The functions themselves are not being amended, so the standards that any non-public sector body would need to meet remain the same as those to which the Secretary of State, acting through the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA), currently adheres. The Order does not change existing legislative requirements imposed on the automotive industry. The VCA has no routine dealings with the voluntary sector.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 04/12/2014 14:32:03 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
