Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the impact of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 on the functioning of the Cambridge guided busway.

Guided busways are subject to the legislation applicable to road-based public service vehicles, including road traffic, vehicle operator licensing and health and safety legislation. The Department keeps the regulatory framework for transport safety under review and considers that the existing framework provides appropriate safety regulation for guided busways.
