TYPE APPROVAL OF REPLACEMENT EXHAUST SYSTEMS

Early day motion 2152, tabled 26 October 2009 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 28 members.

That this House notes that the UK has failed to sign EU Directive 92/97/EEC which ensures that type approval of replacement exhaust systems are produced and sold as separate technical units; believes that as a consequence of non-type approved replacement products being installed on motor vehicles UK businesses are being placed at a disadvantage and that economic, environmental and public health damage has resulted; and urges the Government to sign EU Directive 92/97/EEC to ensure that a level playing field operates across Europe, and that all replacement exhaust systems are type approved.

Signatures by party: Labour 24, Liberal Democrat 2, DUP 1, Respect 1.
