answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2020 answer text <p>We have worked with the police, operators, and trade unions to agree a six-stage approach to ensuring compliance. Operators will be responsible for the first five stages (Engage, Explain, Encourage, Enable use, and Entry/Exit restrictions). Enforcement by the police or TfL authorised personnel will be the last resort if a passenger fails to comply at other stages.</p><p> </p><p>Our initial approach to enforcement has been to focus on communications to encourage compliance. Operators (and the police) have new powers to deny access to a service, to direct someone to wear a face covering, or direct someone to leave a service if they are not wearing a face covering. Operators have discretion over whether they choose to use these powers; they do not have an obligation to do so.</p><p> </p><p>If passengers fail to comply, as a last resort the Police and TfL authorised personnel have a power to issue a fixed penalty notice of £100 under the PHA Regulations, reduced to £50 if paid within 14 days. The police also have the power to remove passengers from vehicles and use reasonable for if necessary to do so, as well as the power to direct an individual who has responsibility for a child aged 11 or over to ensure that the child complies with the regulations.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 09/07/2020 08:58:24 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2020 answer text <p>We do not plan to issue badges or passes to show that people are exempt from the requirement to wear a face covering on public transport in England.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Several operators have badge or lanyard schemes in place that can help people communicate that they are exempt. These are intended to be tools to give people more confidence when engaging with transport staff. However, badges or similar are not obligatory and it is sufficient for people to communicate with transport operator staff that they are exempt. We have been working closely with operators to make sure they are communicating this approach to their passengers and staff (Guidance can be found here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-safer-transport-guidance-for-operators/coronavirus-covid-19-safer-transport-guidance-for-operators#face-coverings).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 09/07/2020 11:24:26 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
