Seeking views on 2 proposals affecting the manufacturing of road vehicles. The proposals are:
- the Vehicle Certification Agency and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency are granted increased powers to better monitor the manufacturing of road vehicles in order to maintain safety and environmental standards, known as type approval, plus issue civil penalties for non-compliance
- all new cars and buses which are fitted with a radio must have a radio capable of receiving digital radio stations, in line with the European Electronic Communications Code
