HC Deb 06 January 2004 vol 416 c216W
15. Mr. Simon Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what recent representations he has received on making the wearing of seat belts on school transport compulsory.[145879]

Mr. Jamieson

None. The Department is however in the process of implementing EU Directive 2003/20/EU of 8 April 2003 on seat belt wearing. This requires the wearing of seat belts by passengers in buses and coaches where they are installed.
