answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2021 answer text <p>The Government had already committed £1.5 billion to support the early market and remove barriers to ZEV ownership. Alongside the new phase out dates for new petrol and diesel cars and vans, we have pledged a further £2.8 billion package of measures to support industry and consumers to make the switch to cleaner vehicles. These ambitions will include up to £1 billion to support the electrification of UK vehicles and their supply chains, £1.3 billion to accelerate the roll out of charging infrastructure and £582 million for plug in vehicle grants.</p><p>The March 2020 Budget included the extension of favourable benefit in kind tax rates for zero emission vehicles out to 2025: company car tax is 1% in 2021/22 and 2% in 2022/23 through to 2024/25; and all zero emission cars are exempt from vehicle excise duty (VED)</p><p><br> We are currently consulting on the proposed regulatory framework for the UK with regard to all newly sold road vehicles which includes the option for a ZEV mandate. The consultation closes on 22 September.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan grouped question UIN HL2401 question first answered 21/09/2021 09:52:29 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many cars have failed an MoT test since 1 January 2016 as a result of problems with originally fitted catalytic converters or diesel particulate filters, in (1) the UK, and (2) the London area.
tabling member printed	Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb
uin	HL4271
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2017 answer text <p>Since 1 January 2016 a total of 4,925 cars and light vans have failed an MOT test in GB for defects with the catalytic converter and a further 468 have failed the MOT test for problems with the diesel particulate filter. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency cannot readily separate figures for the London area, and does not have figures from Northern Ireland, as this is a devolved issue.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/01/2017 14:30:17 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their timescale for developing methods which can detect the removal or effectiveness of a particulate filter during an MoT check-up; whether they have commissioned research into this; and if so, from whom.

uin	HL4272
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Transport has commissioned research by Ricardo Ltd into how new technology can improve detection of diesel particulate filter removal or the effectiveness of such a filter. It is not possible to give a timescale at this early stage to determine how these findings may be used.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/01/2017 14:27:20 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have considered requiring all authorised MoT test centres to enter information on a database whenever they remove the internal core of a particulate filter, so that other test centres can be required to check with the vehicle’s owner that the filter is working again when it is presented for MoT.
tabling member printed	Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb
uin	HL4273
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2017 answer text <p>Garages conducting such modifications to particulate filters are generally not MOT garages – and so the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) would not consider such a database to be of value. Where the garage making modifications is an authorised MOT garage, DVSA will take appropriate action against them.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/01/2017 14:21:41 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they will pursue against garages, drivers or others whose actions have contributed to the illegal driving of vehicles without an originally fitted catalytic converter and diesel particulate filter.
tabling member printed	Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb
uin	HL4274
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2017 answer text <p>Existing legislation makes the owner or user of the vehicle responsible for its condition. Removal of a diesel particulate filter will almost invariably result in a contravention of the regulations, making the vehicle illegal to use on the road. The potential penalties are £1,000 for a car and £2,500 for a van. Action can be taken against garages who are promoting services in a way that makes it likely car owners will break the law by making such changes to their vehicle.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/01/2017 14:29:34 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether it is possible for members of the public who encounter a motor vehicle producing visible emissions to report the matter and if so, to whom should they report.
tabling member printed	The Countess of Mar
uin	HL1139
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
