Written question asked by Lord Monson (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Earl Attlee (Conservative) on Tuesday, 13 July 2010.
Buses: Dogs
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether bus drivers can prevent would-be passengers with well-behaved dogs from boarding on the ground that one or more individuals on the bus may object to dogs on cultural or religious grounds.
- Answer
-
A bus driver, inspector or conductor has the right in law to ask any passenger to remove from the bus any animal that they have with them. The driver does not need to supply a reason. This rule does not, however, apply to assistance dogs, guide dogs or hearing dogs accompanying disabled passengers.
