question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what reason his Department does not include bus occupants as a road user type in its quarterly road casualty statistics.
tabling member constituency	Cambridge
tabling member printed	Daniel Zeichner
uin	39214
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2016 answer text <p>The Department produces <strong>annual</strong> figures for bus occupant casualties in June each year which are based on complete data returns from police forces. <strong>Provisional quarterly</strong> road casualty statistics however are based on incomplete data returns from police forces and bus occupants only account for a very small share of road casualties. Although allowances are made for the missing data, casualty estimates for this group are subject to higher levels of uncertainty than for the main road user types (car occupants, motorcyclists, pedal cyclists and pedestrians). Producing separate figures for bus occupants in the provisional quarterly estimates would result in misleading figures. Instead a single set of figures are estimated for all other road user types, including bus occupant, heavy goods vehicle occupants, van occupant, and other casualties.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 13/06/2016 11:08:54 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

tabling member constituency	Cambridge
tabling member printed	Daniel Zeichner
uin	39212
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2016 answer text <p>The Government has introduced several measures to encourage the uptake of environmentally friendly buses.</p><p>The Low Emission Bus Scheme (LEBS), announced last year, will provide over £30m to help buy several hundred low emission buses. These low emission buses will need to produce at least 15% less greenhouse gas emissions than the average modern diesel bus and meet strict emissions standards. The winners of LEBS will be announced soon, building on the success of the Green Bus Fund, which ran to 2014. Under the Green Bus Fund, £89million of Government funding helped to purchase over 1,200 green buses.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also encouraging the uptake of greener vehicles through the Bus Service Operators Grant low carbon emission bus incentive under which eligible services receive an additional 6p per kilometre to the 34.57p.</p><p> </p><p>The Bus Services Bill, which was introduced into the House of Lords on 19<sup>th</sup> May, will provide local transport authorities with new powers to specify the emission standards to be met by local bus services – including through franchising and, with sufficient support from bus operators, under enhanced partnership arrangements.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has also invested over £26million since 2011 under the Clean Bus and Clean Vehicle Technology Funds for local authorities in pollution hotspots across England to retrofit 1000’s of buses, and other vehicles, with pollution reducing technology. This includes converting some buses to either natural gas or to electric propulsion.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 13/06/2016 10:46:35 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
