Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with his EU counterparts on the proposed revision of Regulation 1071/2009 on exemptions for community transport providers operating for non-commercial purposes.
Department for Transport officials are in regular contact with their EU Commission counterparts about a range of issues, including on the exemptions in EU Regulation 1071/2009. Wherever possible, the Department wants community transport providers to continue to operate, and retain, service provision for vulnerable community transport passengers.
