Lord Snape (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 April 2025

Debate

Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [HL]

Contribution

Before the noble Lord sits down, does he remember that the biggest bus manufacturer in the United Kingdom for many years was Leyland buses? Does he remember what happened when it asked for a government subvention in order to stay afloat? The company then went bust. So, is it not rather strange that he should now advocate that buses should be made and built in Britain, when the last Conservative Government let our biggest bus operator go to the wall?
