Question

Diesel Filters and London's Diesel Bus Fleet

A recent BBC 5 Live report stated "thousands of motorists are breaking the law by driving diesel cars without pollution filters."  Can you give me assurance that 100% of London's Contracted Diesel Bus Fleet is fitted with and always operating with functioning pollution mitigation technologies, including diesel filters and, where appropriate, AdBlue?  If it is still possible to operate a London Bus with empty AdBlue Tanks, would this be considered to be a violation of the law too?
