answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2020 answer text <p>A mortgage prisoner is defined by the FCA as an existing customer that may be experiencing harm because they are unable to switch to a better deal. The Government is aware that these borrowers have been in a difficult and stressful situation. We have worked closely with the FCA to implement their rule change to remove the regulatory barrier that has prevented some customers from switching.</p><p> </p><p>It is expected that lenders will need approximately 6 months to make the necessary adjustments and system changes, after which they will be able to use the modified affordability assessment for borrowers looking to re-mortgage.</p><p> </p><p>I have written to Stephen Jones, Chief Executive Officer of UK Finance to outline my expectation that as many of its members as possible should move quickly to offer new deals to borrowers that are eligible to switch under the new FCA rules.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 06/02/2020 16:40:41 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2015 answer text <p><strong></strong></p><p>In the UK, the Vehicle Certification Agency conducts tests on vehicles and components to ensure they meet the minimum standards required by European and UN-ECE legislation.</p><p>Emissions tests are carried out to determine that the level of pollutants emitted from a vehicle is below the required limits. The test is a laboratory based test under controlled conditions in order to achieve repeatable results.</p><p>The Department for Transport recognises the current test cycle for emissions is outdated and no longer represents normal driving patterns. Discussions have taken place over recent years to replace this with an updated more relevant laboratory test. The Department anticipates this will be implemented from 2017. In addition, a new real world driving emissions test is being implemented to ensure emissions in normal driving comply with the legal obligation. These new tests will remove the ability of car manufacturers to falsify test results.</p><p>All new vehicles are tested in accordance with EU law to ensure that they meet the legislated requirements for emissions. There is no evidence that these emissions tests have been falsified in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 16/10/2015 12:47:47 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
