question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with Transport for London about increasing the number of wheelchairs allowed on London buses at any one time.

uin	HL1733
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/07/2015 answer text <p>There have been no formal discussions between the Department for Transport and Transport for London (TfL) about increasing the number of wheelchairs allowed on London Buses at any one time. However, TfL is encouraging vehicle manufacturers to maximise the space available within the designated wheelchair bay. This will make it easier for wheelchair users to move into the area and place themselves in the correct position – the back of the wheelchair against the back rest.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 27/07/2015 16:04:22 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have a policy of encouraging rail operators to convert first class carriages to standard class.
tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
uin	HL2273
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2014 answer text <p>Government specifies high level capacity requirements and expects the industry to determine appropriate operational solutions based on local demand to deliver these requirements. Where appropriate, this may include providing additional seating capacity in standard class carriages through conversion of first class carriages. While it is not our general policy to require operators to convert first class carriages to standard class, the Government would expect operators to consider the appropriate mix of standard and first class provision in meeting local demand for their services. In the case of the recent Virgin West Coast and First Great Western Direct Awards, the Government has contracted with the operators to provide additional capacity in this way.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 04/11/2014 13:47:05 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

uin	HL2188
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2014 answer text <p>Government specifies capacity requirements at a high level and seeks input from the industry as to cost effective and timely ways in which this can be delivered. The industry is free to consider initiatives which meet the overall requirements of the Department for Transport's specification. This may include providing additional seating capacity in standard class carriages through conversion of first class carriages. In the case of the recent Virgin West Coast and First Great Western Direct Awards, the Government has contracted with the operators to provide additional capacity in this way.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 28/10/2014 15:28:29 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
