§ Mr. LazarowiczTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what guidelines and advice he has issued to business employers on the ban on the use of mobile telephones while driving; and which business and employers' organisations received such information. [140148]
§ Mr. JamiesonThe Department has not issued guidelines and advice specifically for business employers. The Department has however e-mailed 1,000 large employers drawing their attention to the new regulations and to the Department's general advice and publicity materials, which are relevant to all road users.
That general advice is in the form of Frequently Asked Questions which is available on-line at http://www.dft.gov.uk/stellent/groups/dft_rdsafety/ documents/page/dft_rdsafety_025216.hcsp.
That includes a specific question and answer that is relevant to employers.
