Motion text
That this House notes the challenge to public health caused by roadside air pollution, in particular fine and ultra-fine combustion generated particles; urges the Government to observe best practice globally with regards to mitigating harmful levels of air pollution and to be guided by effective, evidence-based policies; recognises that Diesel Particulate Filters are very efficient at capturing polluting particles, but when damaged can lead to the emission of dangerous particulates; commends the Netherlands for introducing a Diesel Particulate Filter efficiency test as part of its Periodic Technical Inspections test; urges the Government to also introduce an efficient element in the diesel particulate matter section of the MOT based on particulate mass or number metrics; and calls on the House to support the Motor Vehicle Tests (Diesel Particulate Filters): Ten Minute Rule Motion which would make provision for efficiency testing of Diesel Particulate Filters.
