Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Sharon Hodgson (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 30 January 2007 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Car Pools

Question
Are there any plans to give local authorities greater powers to support car-pool schemes, as that would go a long way towards giving people the chance to use high-occupancy vehicle lanes?
Answer

Local authorities already have such powers. In fact, we have just published a traffic advisory leaflet, which explains to them their powers and what they can do, and which sets out evidence gained from schemes in other areas, showing how successful they have been. If my hon. Friend has any concerns about her local authority and wants to discuss those concerns with me, I would be happy to have a meeting with her.
