Tom Gordon

Liberal Democrat — Harrogate and Knaresborough

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 September 2025

Debate

Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [Lords]

Contribution

The Minister made an interesting point earlier about allowing local transport authorities and mayors to make decisions when it comes to buses. Why does he think that a national mandatory bus fare cap should apply but not a national mandate allowing access for disability passes? Why is it that some decisions should be taken locally and others nationally, and how does he reconcile those differences?
