HC Deb 17 April 1996 vol 275 cc506-7W
Sir David Steel

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will place in the Library a copy of the report commissioned by his Department from the Confederation of Passenger Transport on the trial ban on coaches using the outside lanes of motorways; and when he will make a statement on the outcome of the ban. [24620]

Mr. Norris

A copy of the report produced by Wootton Jeffreys on behalf of the Confederation of Passenger Transport, formerly the Bus and Coach Council, was placed in the Library in January 1995. A statement on the outcome of the ban on coaches using the outside lane of motorways with three or more lanes will be made after two years' accident data have been studied.
