§ 16. Mr. Hal Millerasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has any proposals for amendments to the Minibus Act 1977.
§ Mrs. ChalkerWe want to see the fullest possible use made of minibuses. We also want them to be operated safely and responsibly. The Minibus Act was an important step forward. The regulations are still, however, complex and some may be unnecessary. I have therefore been consulting widely on possible simplifications and reform and hope soon to be able to bring forward proposals on this.
