§ Sir Neil MacfarlaneTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will review the purpose of bus lanes in London and take steps to ensure that they do not become parking places for coaches; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyPriority to buses can be justified when the benefit to bus users exceeds the cost to other road users.
The Department has issued guidance in traffic advisory unit leaflet 2/88 on the use of with-flow bus lanes; further advice is in preparation.
Violation of bus lanes—whether by parked or moving vehicles—is a matter for police enforcement.
