Here are some other Parliamentary Written Questions that caught my eye today.
Mr Dai Davies (Blaenau Gwent):To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the possibility of the commercial use of airships for the movement of (a) freight and (b) passengers in the United Kingdom.
Mr Michael Ancram (Devizes):To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he intends to lift the ban on (a) valuable and (b) bulky musical instruments being carried in-cabin by musicians.

Thanks, Lee ... I had to smile at the "horsedrawn public transport" question, though I have no doubt that Chris has some very serious reason for asking it. It reminded me that there's a special VAT rate for the hire of horses in one of our neighbouring EU countries ... or so I was told.

Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport which body is responsible for regulating horse-drawn public transport.
Gillian Merron: Horse-drawn omnibuses and horse-drawn hackney carriages are licensed by local authorities (district or borough councils or unitary authorities). Any byelaws made by local licensing authorities to regulate horse-drawn omnibuses or hackney carriages must be confirmed by the Secretary of State before they can come into force. It is for local authorities to enforce any byelaws which they make.
So now you know.
