Proceeding contribution from Iain Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 October 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Bus Services.
Bus Services
Like my hon. Friend the Member for Eccles (Ian Stewart), my hon. Friend the Member for Hackney, South and Shoreditch (Meg Hillier) talks about pay, pensions and general conditions. Bus drivers in my constituency are worried about the nature and pattern of shifts, in particular the length of time they spend behind the wheel, which can be a maximum of five and half hours. That is obviously a great concern because with increasing traffic and road rage, a tired bus driver is a dangerous bus driver. Will my hon. Friend care to comment on reducing bus drivers’ hours?
