	tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
	uin	HL14671
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government has no current plans to change the GB domestic drivers’ hours legislation applicable to drivers of local bus services. The existing legislation is both important and appropriate in ensuring the safety of drivers and others on the road. However, any further restrictions could risk imposing unreasonable burdens on industry, particularly as fatal accidents involving bus or coaches have been falling over time, from 120 in 2007 to 55 in 2017. It is worth noting that reported involvement in a fatal accident does not necessarily indicate fault or causation.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 02/04/2019 13:51:54 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
