Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to help ensure that social distancing measures can be effectively introduced for regional public transport during the covid-19 outbreak.

On the 12 May, the Government published guidance for passengers and transport operators to help them keep themselves and their staff safe, including how social distancing rules should be interpreted to do this. This guidance will be kept up-to-date as restrictions on travel change.
