Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will take steps to invite representations from young people to help input their experiences into future transport policy.

The Department is committed to ensuring that it meets the obligations set out in the Public Sector Equality Duty and give due consideration to the needs of groups with protected characteristics when developing policies and programmes. As part of this we are seeking to build our evidence base on the travel needs, behaviours and experiences of different groups, including those of different age cohorts.
