tabling member constituency	Nottingham South

uin	6086
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2020 answer text <p>The Department for Transport does not hold any information on passenger journeys on vehicles exempt from compliance with the Persons of Reduced Mobility Technical Specification for Interoperability (PRM-TSI). There are no vehicles in scheduled passenger service which are fully exempted from the requirements of the PRM-TSI. There are around 1,300 vehicles (9%) in the national fleet with short term, time-limited dispensations against a range of non-compliances with standards in the PRM-TSI. As these vehicles are upgraded and replaced the number in service diminishes throughout the coming months. Data on the volume of passengers and the frequency of service for vehicles with time-limited dispensations would be a matter for the operators to monitor.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 27/01/2020 16:47:37 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
