§ Lord Bradshawasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Macdonald of Tradeston on 16 January ( WA 51) stating that they hoped to make the relevant regulations to introduce camera enforcement of bus lanes outside London within the next few weeks, whether these regulations have yet been published; if so, on what date; and, if not, when they will be published. [HL4333]
§ Lord Davies of OldhamSection 144 of the Transport Act 2000 provides general enabling powers for local authorities outside London to enforce bus lanes. The work on preparation of the regulations including resolving relevant legal points has taken longer than expected but the Department for Transport and the Department for Constitutional Affairs hope to be able to make the relevant regulations later this year.
