Written question asked by Philip Hollobone (Conservative) on Tuesday, 29 November 2005, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 1 December 2005. It was answered by Karen Buck (Labour) on Wednesday, 7 December 2005 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Stretch Limousines

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received on (a) licensing of and (b) other regulations relating to stretch limousines; and whether specific regulations apply to them.
Answer

Over recent years we have received a number of representations from numerous individuals and organisations about the licensing, operation and use of stretch limousines. Many of those concerns were aired in the House of Lords Report Stage debate on the Road Safety Bill 29 November 2005, Official Report, columns 122–26W. We are very much aware of the issues and concerns surrounding the operation of stretch limousines and officials are actively looking at what can be done to clarify the position for all parties.
