Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many coach companies have had their operating licences revoked in the last five years.

The data held by the Office of the Traffic Commissioner does not differentiate between operators of coaches, buses or minibuses in Great Britain as all of the vehicles are regarded as Public Service Vehicles (PSV), which are generally vehicles that have nine or more passenger seats.

The figures in the table below show the number of PSV licences revoked at a public enquiry. There are licences that have been revoked outside of a public enquiry, but these numbers cannot be provided due to disproportionate costs.
