Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how her Department plans to enforce fines for loud music and vaping on buses in the Lewes constituency.

It is up to the Local Transport Authorities to decide whether they want to use the powers in the Bus Services Act to implement bus byelaws to deter nuisance behaviour on their local bus networks.

Where local authorities decide that this is a priority then byelaws will be able to be enforced by Transport Safety Officers, or other authorised officers employed by the local authority as well as by the Police.
