To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what new measures he plans to reduce pollution caused by motor cars and lorries.

I have little to add to my hon. Friend's answer to the hon. Member for Newport, West on 30 October, columns 464–66. The Government are doing everything they can to achieve the earliest possible agreement within the European Community on a new, consolidated directive to reduce car emissions. We shall also urge the Community to adopt tighter noise limits for all vehicles when this matter is discussed next year.
