To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of maintaining company car tax rates on the transition to electric vehicles following the introduction of the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of maintaining company car tax rates on the transition to electric vehicles following the introduction of the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure.
The government has engaged with stakeholders as part of the review of the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) and vehicle taxes which closed on 17 February.
The review sought evidence on how reported carbon dioxide emissions are impacted by the introduction of WLTP and whether any adjustment should be made to Vehicle Excise Duty and company car tax from April 2020.
Responses to the review are currently being analysed and the government has committed to publishing a response in the spring.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to the use of a segmented windscreen triple disc to indicate the date of expiry of MOT, insurance and road fund tax each separately.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to the use of a segmented windscreen triple disc to indicate the date of expiry of MOT, insurance and road fund tax each separately.
The Government believes that the use of technology is a more effective way of preventing and detecting the unlawful use of untaxed, uninsured and untested vehicles. The police has access to the information held by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency and the insurance industry to allow them to check compliance at the roadside.
Therefore, there are no plans to introduce a windscreen disc to indicate the expiry date of MoT, insurance and vehicle excise duty.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have plans to introduce regulations to require the mandatory testing of waterways and rivers prior to recreational water activities being organised where incidents of either legal or illegal release of sewage has been recorded.[HL550]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have plans to introduce regulations to require the mandatory testing of waterways and rivers prior to recreational water activities being organised where incidents of either legal or illegal release of sewage has been recorded.[HL550]
The Government have no plans to introduce regulations to require the mandatory testing of waterways and rivers as there are already appropriate systems in place. Neither do the Government have any intention to introduce regulations to require water utilities to notify the Environment Agency of pollution incidents, as provision for this is already in place. For discharges to water, such as from sewage treatment works and combined sewer overflows, which are permitted under the Environmental Permitting Regulations (2010), there is a condition within the permits that requires the water company to notify the Environment Agency without delay following the detection of:
any malfunction, breakdown or failure of equipment or techniques, accident, or emission of a substance not controlled by an emission limit which has caused, is causing or may cause significant pollution;
the breach of a limit specified in the permit; or
any significant adverse environmental effects.
Failure to comply with this condition will result in non-compliance with the permit and potential enforcement action.
Following the recent pollution incidents that took place at Little Marlow sewage treatment works, the Environment Agency has installed continuous water quality monitoring equipment on the River Thames downstream of the outfall for the sewage treatment works. This equipment measures ammonia levels, dissolved oxygen, turbidity and temperature. Live data from the monitors are available to members of the public from a dedicated website.
The monitoring equipment alerts Environment Agency incident officers of any unusual readings that indicate the presence of pollution. Should any future pollution occur from Thames Water's Little Marlow works, the Environment Agency will share the information with the local river user groups and event organisers.
The Environment Agency has been working with Public Health England and Wycombe District Council Environmental Health to advise river users of the health risk of events on the Thames.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what arrangements they are making for the testing of water in the River Thames prior to organised swimming and other water sports events taking place downstream of recent illegal sewage releases from Little Marlow Sewage treatment works.[HL549]
