Public Bus Collisions

Debate between Lord Davies of Gower and Lord Harris of Haringey

Monday 13th May 2024 Lords Chamber

[Lord Harris of Haringey (Lab)]

My Lords, the Minister says that it is a matter of the police enforcing them. Will he tell us how exactly they are expected to do that, given their current level of resourcing and that there is no system of licensing or, indeed, of identifying cyclists, who may simply cycle away having committed the offences to which he refers?

[Lord Davies of Gower (Con)]

The noble Lord asks how the police are supposed to do it. It is a matter of being out there and patrolling. I did it myself for 32 years, and I managed to nab a few cyclists.
