Minibuses: Licensing
(asked on 5th February 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the consistency of application of EC Regulations 1071/2009 (a) generally and (b) in respect of minibus driver licensing in the community and voluntary sectors.
This question was answered on 13th February 2018
The Department wrote to organisations who issue section 19 and section 22 permits under the Transport Act 1985 in July 2017, and then to local authorities in November 2017 about the proper application of EU Regulation 1071/2009.
The forthcoming consultation in on the issue and use of permits will provide further clarity about the scope of exemptions to the regulation.
