§ Mr. CoxTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to review the present regulation on bus lanes in London; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. AtkinsDecisions on bus lanes in London are primarily for London boroughs. Departmental advice published in circular 2/87 "Traffic Management Guidance in London", is that buses be given priority where benefits to passengers exceed the costs to other traffic. We are reviewing currently requirements for the signing of bus lanes and technical advice on implementation of bus priority measures more generally.
