HC Deb 21 December 1999 vol 341 c536W
Mr. Ernie Ross

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what reports he has received from the Vehicle Inspectorate on the safety of Dennis Dart buses; what response he has made; if he will establish a formal investigation of Dennis Dart buses; and if he will make a statement. [103751]

Mr. Hill

A report on alleged unintended acceleration in Public Service Vehicles was sent to the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions by the Vehicle Inspectorate on 23 August. The Department subsequently asked the Vehicle Inspectorate to provide additional information to widen the scope of the informal investigations. There are no plans to establish any formal investigation of Dennis Dart buses.
