Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 April 2025

Debate

Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [HL]

Contribution

As I said during the first day on Report, the Government are taking steps to improve safety in the bus sector. The DVSA has assured me that it is prioritising public service vehicle reporting, with a streamlining of the process enabling more timely interventions and making it easier for everyone, including bus staff, to raise concerns. My officials are working with the Standing Committee for Road Injury Collision Statistics to ensure that there is full visibility over any safety incidents on buses, wherever they occur, including in bus stations, helping to identify areas for potential further action.
