Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking with (a) manufacturers and (b) other stakeholders to ensure that all motorcycles and mopeds do not exceed limits for vehicle volume.

The Government takes the impact of traffic noise on communities seriously . Manufacturers of motor vehicles, including motorcycles and mopeds, are required to demonstrate compliance with strict noise limits before placing products on the market.

The police have powers to act if they suspect an exhaust has been modified to increase noise above these limits The Department is engaging with the police on the role of 'noise camera' technology in more targeted, efficient and effective enforcement
