§ Mr. David Cameron (Witney)I beg leave of the House to present a petition on behalf of Mrs. Mullis and parents of children travelling to school by bus from Bampton to Burford school in west Oxfordshire. The petitioners are concerned that from 8 April this year, children from Bampton have been travelling on a double-decker bus instead of a traditional school coach. The bus is supposed to carry more than 100 children. It is unsupervised except by the driver and it does not 616 include seat belts. The petitioners are concerned about safety and supervision. There are 251 signatures to the petition.
The petitioners therefore request:
That the House of Commons takes note of their petition and of the concerns about the safety of children travelling on double-decker buses to school.And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.To lie upon the table.
