§ Mr. PikeTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) what information his Department has on the implications of accidents as a result of standing passengers on buses; and if he will make a statement;
(2) what proposals his Department has for changes in (a) the regulations and (b) bus design in relation to standing passengers; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. NorrisThe information available on the reducing number of standing passengers killed or injured on buses, including those moving either to a seat or to alight from the vehicle, does not indicate that any change to the provisions for ensuring the safe carriage of standing passengers on buses is necessary.
