Our firm diplomacy and actions have shown the seriousness with which we take these incidents, and have ultimately had an impact.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 03/01/2023 15:55:04 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
