HC Deb 22 April 1996 vol 276 c35W
25. Mr. Pike

To ask Secretary of State for Transport what recent representations he has received about standing passengers on buses. [24744]

Mr. Norris

I have received representations over the past 12 months which reflect concerns ranging from safety to the comfort of standing passengers. They have been in the context of both the current United Kingdom legislation and the effects of possible harmonisation of bus and coach construction requirements across the EU.
