  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon

Confidential Incident Reporting and Analysis System (CIRAS) and Coaches

  • Reference: 2017/3059
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 10 August 2017
In answer to MQ 2016/4554 you stated "I expect independent confidential reporting to be incorporated as a mandatory health and safety requirement in my Mayoral guidance document for London Service Permits (LSP)" and "the guidance will be amended to reflect this requirement following the final publication of my Transport Strategy, which will be published in draft for consultation in the spring." Why does your draft Transport Strategy appear silent on the issue of confidential incident reporting for coaches or lorries?

TfL Obligation to report law breaking by bus drivers

  • Reference: 2017/3058
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 10 August 2017
In response to MQ 2015/3231 the previous Mayor stated that "TfL does not have an obligation to pass on any reports of illegal bus driver behaviour" shown in any video evidence it received from bus CCTV evidence or third-party sources. Given the short period of time that TfL bus contractors retain CCTV evidence will you ensure that TfL is obligated to submit any such evidence it receives from members of the public to the police as soon as possible?
