hansard heading	Diesel Vehicles: Exhaust Emissions
house id	2
legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they are planning to update requirements for MOT inspections to ensure that all diesel cars manufactured since 2009 are tested to ensure that they have a pollution filter when presented for testing.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL2959
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>The current MOT test includes a provision for checking that a diesel particulate filter is fitted to a vehicle. However, it is recognised that on some vehicle models, it can be more difficult to recognise if a filter is present. From May 2018, the emissions limits for diesel cars will be lowered which will help identify more easily when manipulation or removal of a filter has occurred. In addition, the reasons a tester can fail a vehicle will be broadened to include obvious modification to the diesel particulate filter.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 20/11/2017 12:54:29 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they are planning to bring forward legislation to make it illegal for a garage to remove a pollution filter from a diesel vehicle.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL2960
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>It is an offence under the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations (Regulation 61a(3)) to use a vehicle which has been modified in such a way that it no longer complies with the air pollutant emissions standards it was designed to meet. Removal of a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) will almost invariably result in a contravention of the Regulations, making the vehicle illegal to use on the road.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport’s officials are considering ways to develop these regulations further in order to ensure that anyone caught flouting the rules, or advertising services to circumvent the law, are brought before the courts.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 20/11/2017 12:51:42 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
