Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department plans to review the definitions of (a) pre-booked and (b) on-demand coach services.

The Department recognises the important role the coach sector plays in connecting people across the country. Coaches are operated on a commercial basis providing services for leisure, business, education and private hire. The Government has no plans to review the definitions of pre-booked or on-demand services because, as private businesses, decisions such as the types of services they offer are for the operators concerned.
