§ Lord Lairdasked Her Majesty's Government:
What plans they have to permit taxis to use existing bus lanes in Belfast. [HL680]
102WA
§ Baroness AmosBelfast public hire taxis, and taxis operating under a Road Service licence, have been permitted to use most bus lanes in Belfast since June 2002. Motorcycles are currently permitted to use bus lanes on an experimental basis. It is not proposed that any changes will be introduced before the experimental scheme ends later this year, when Roads Service will consider permitting other taxis to use bus lanes.
