To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what inspections have been completed on garages performing MOT tests relating to diesel particulate filters since 26 October 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what inspections have been completed on garages performing MOT tests relating to diesel particulate filters since 26 October 2014.
Every MOT tester has to apply the standards set out within the inspection manual when inspecting vehicles fitted with diesel particulate filters. Since the end of October 2014, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency have visited around 1500 garages. If any issues have arisen during these visits, all staff at the garages have been made aware of the requirements.
Is my hon. Friend aware of the concerns of the NHS in Stoke-on-Trent, particularly in respect of the very high number—the figure is well above the national average—of 11 to 16-year-olds who classify themselves as regular smokers? Does she agree that it is right that this Government should do all...

That this House notes with concern that the prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) in the United Kingdom has risen by 33 per cent.; further notes that the tuberculin skin test for latent TB infection was developed 115 years ago and is inaccurate in up to 50 per cent. of cases; observes that the new T-SPOT blood test for TB delivers a 96.3 per cent. sensitivity rate, reducing missed TB cases, morbidity and higher costs of treating subsequent disease; further observes that the T-SPOT blood test requires only one visit to hospital, avoiding gaps in detection and treatment as a result of up to one-third of patients failing to attend the second visit required for skin testing; further notes that the Government's 2004 TB Action Plan identifies accurate diagnosis using technological advances as one of the key priorities for the control of TB; further observes that the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) appears in its draft guidance on TB testing to have reflected neither the potential savings of ??7,000 for every additional case of TB averted through use of the blood test, nor the improved quality of life of patients; further observes that the alternative Mantoux skin test being considered would require substantial retraining of healthcare personnel and is unlicensed for use in the United Kingdom; and calls upon the Department of Health and NICE to review current testing policy and promote greater adoption of the T-SPOT blood test as the most effective procedure.

That this House notes that 25 per cent. of all hospital treatments given to children are either unlicensed for this purpose or are not used in accordance with the instructions on the label; expresses concern that some of those treatments have resulted in death or injury to some of those children; recalls the comments made by the Health Committee in its report, The Specific Health Needs of Children and Young People, 10th February 1997, that 'the current situation in regard to the testing and licensing of medicines for use by children is unacceptable'; further notes that European Union guidance on this issue came into force in September 1997; but expresses concern that the Medicines Control Agency does not hold information on those products which are being developed in accordance with this guidance, and that the MCA does not keep a record of those companies which may be complying with the guidance; notes with interest that from April 1999 in the United States, pharmaceutical companies will be compelled to provide information about the effects of their drugs on children if such a use is likely; and urges the Government to take steps to strengthen the regulatory framework in the UK, and establish a satisfactory system for testing and licensing treatments for use on children.

That this House notes that in the Answer to the honourable Member for Blaenau Gwent, Official Report, 10th July 1995, column 394, by the Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, the honourable Member for Boothferry was told that 'President Chirac has given an assurance that the planned nuclear tests will not cause any harm to the environment' and that 'the French Government has not provided the United Kingdom with environmental impact assessments of its previous tests in the South Pacific'; is alarmed at the admission by the French Government on 23rd January that there have been leaks into the Mururoa Atoll nuclear test site of radioactive iodine 131 from the tests; believes this contamination proves that pathways exist for the uncontrolled venting of materials to the Pacific Ocean; therefore calls upon the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to instruct Mr Leon Salt who is supposed to represent the interests of the residents of the British Protectorate of Pitcairn Island, only 600 miles from Mururoa, from the Pitcairn Islands Administrative Office at the British Consulate in Auckland, to do his job properly and demand a full explanation from the French military authorities in Mururoa of the leak and risk to Pitcairn islanders; and demands a halt to any further tests.
