Oral answer to question provided on Tuesday, 30 January 2007 in the House of Commons, by Stephen Ladyman (Labour), Department for Transport.


Car Pools

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.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Tuesday, 30 January 2007 by Sharon Hodgson (Labour).

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?
