Asked by Perran MoonLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 28 April 2026UIN 128603

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has considered introducing national provision to permit registered volunteer blood bike services to use bus lanes.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Installation of bus lanes is the responsibility of local traffic authorities. Whether to allow blood bike services to use bus lanes lies with local traffic authorities, taking into account the impact on bus services, compliance and enforcement considerations. The Department has no plans to mandate this nationally.
