Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 January 2025

Debate

Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [HL]

Contribution

I know that some local transport authorities, including my own in West Yorkshire, are concerned that public expectations will rise with bus franchising. The worst outcome from that is that they will become disillusioned, as a lack of funding means that services do not improve. That is the basis of my Amendment 4. It is simply to try to tease out whether the Government are considering the subsidies that may be necessary.
