Ms. Ruddock

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to monitor the operation of the Public Service Vehicles (Conduct of Drivers, Inspectors, Conductors and Passengers) Regulations 1990.

Mr. Freeman

I am keeping various aspects of these regulations under review.

Ms. Ruddock

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many prosecutions have been brought under the Public Service Vehicles (Conduct of Drivers, Inspectors, Conductors and Passengers) Regulations 1990: and of those prosecutions, how many were in respect of clause 4.

Mr. Freeman

This information is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

Ms. Ruddock

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what information he has on the number of complaints that have been made by members of the public to the police in respect of clause 4 of the Public Service Vehicles (Conduct of Drivers, Inspectors, Conductors and Passengers) Regulations 1990; and if he will undertake a review to assess the effectiveness of the enforcement of the above clause.

Mr. Freeman

Information on such complaints is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. We have no plans to review the enforcement of the regulations.
