question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports that tougher emissions checks under the new MOT system may leave diesel car drivers facing expensive repair bills or the need to scrap their cars; and whether they will consider introducing a compensation scheme for drivers of cars that fail their MOT as a result of recent changes to emissions standards.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2018 answer text <p>Amendments to MOT testing for cars, which took effect on 20 May, include a test of emissions control systems on diesel vehicles. Where these are visibly defective, modified, or missing, or where smoke of any colour is emitted, a major fault will be recorded and the vehicle will fail its MOT. Some cars will not meet these standards, for example where diesel particulate filters have been removed, and these vehicles will require repairs in order to pass the MOT test if they are to remain in use. However, the Government is clear that vehicles using public roads must comply with the air pollutant emissions standards they were designed to meet. The Government currently has no plans to introduce a scrappage scheme for vehicles failing their MOT as a result of these changes.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 18/06/2018 12:14:11 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2015 answer text <p>Highways England’s primary concern is the safety and wellbeing of the travelling public and road workers. To keep traffic moving safely through works, and create as safe a working environment as possible, mandatory 50mph speed limits are put in place for the duration of the construction, whilst maintaining three running lanes during the daytime. Continually lifting and reinstating traffic management would extend the duration of the road works and add to costs.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In addition, a significant amount of work takes place off site and at night, to minimise the disruption that would otherwise occur.　 However, we do recognise that the length of roadworks on the M1 impacts on many drivers’ journeys and Highways England are looking at how they can use shorter lengths of roadworks on future schemes.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The cost of congestion and pollution effects of these roadworks for the past twelve months has not been quantified.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 30/09/2015 13:54:15 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have plans to reconsider the rule requiring incoming aircraft travelling to two destinations to disembark all passengers at the first stop for a full security check, before those ongoing are allowed to re-embark to their original seats, where passengers travelling to a second destination are subsequently security-checked at that final destination; and what assessment they have made of delays caused by that rule and of any inconvenience caused to disabled persons.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2014 answer text <p>There are no plans to change the current requirement for all transit passengers and cabin baggage arriving into the UK from international destinations to disembark from aircraft and be screened at the UK transit airport. However, the Department for Transport keeps all security measures under review to ensure they are proportionate, considering both the risks we are managing and the costs and inconvenience for passengers.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>　</p><p> </p><p>　</p><p> </p><p>　</p><p> </p><p>　</p><p> </p><p>　</p><p> </p><p>　</p><p> </p><p>　</p><p> </p><p>　</p><p> </p><p>　</p><p> </p><p>　</p><p> </p><p>　</p><p> </p><p>　</p><p> </p><p>25 March 2014</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 25/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
