Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 February 2025

Debate

Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [HL]

Contribution

Amendment 45A seeks to place a requirement on the Secretary of State to announce that no new floating bus stops may be installed. It also requires her to carry out a review of existing sites and announce a programme of retrofitting all sites to ensure they are fully accessible. However, work is already under way that will have the same practical effect. It would also not be appropriate for central government to intervene in the way suggested in matters that are, and always have been, the responsibility of local authorities.
