Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 March 2025

Debate

Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [HL]

Contribution

I contend strongly that Amendment 13 is not necessary. The core principle of this Bill is the devolution to local transport authorities of the power to organise or provide, or have provided, bus services in their areas. I see no reason for the Secretary of State to have the power to intervene. I hope the noble Lord will not press this amendment.
