HC Deb 23 July 1999 vol 335 c716W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how many London borough councils run emission tests of motor vehicles travelling within their borough. [92242]

Ms Glenda Jackson

Seven councils around Great Britain are currently helping us to determine how local authorities might be able to help in the enforcement of vehicle exhaust emissions standards at the roadside. Westminster City Council is the only authority in London formally involved in this work, although some others are checking vehicle emissions for motorists on a voluntary basis in car parks and similar locations.
