	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/05/2019 answer text <p>Since wearing seatbelts became mandatory in 1983, there has been a sharp fall in the total number of people killed while driving. Seat belts save lives and the laws we have in place requiring people to wear seat belts are there to save lives. We are grateful to PACTS for looking in considerable detail at what lies behind the disproportionately high number of people incurring fatal injuries while not wearing seat belts. We are currently considering their recommendations and the range of tools at our disposal to increase seatbelt wearing.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 28/05/2019 11:11:11 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2019 answer text <p>The Bus Services Act 2017 provides the tools that local authorities need to improve local bus services. It allows Mayoral Combined Authorities to franchise bus services and local authorities to develop partnerships with bus operators to take the actions which they’ve identified locally to incentivise uptake of public transport. Bus Open Data powers in the Act will require bus operators in England to open up information about routes, timetables, fares and tickets in real time for passengers by 2020. These improvements aim to improve journey planning and help passengers secure best value tickets. The Government is also investing record levels in the U.K. rail network, as part of the biggest rail modernisation programme for over a century</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 02/07/2019 13:41:48 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
