Lord Kirkhope of Harrogate (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 November 2024

Debate

Bus Funding

Contribution

My Lords, the other day, I referred to the Harrogate Bus Company, and I think the Minister agreed with me that it is a good example of a company that has proceeded with environmental approaches, particularly the electrification of its fleet, and done some inspiring things. The formula that my noble friend Lord Moylan referred to seems to be rather rough and ready. Will the Minister confirm to me that, when we have an innovative approach taken by a bus company such as Harrogate, that in itself will result in some reward in terms of funding arrangements: some kind of compensation or at least some kind of acknowledgement of these initiatives, which so are important in the bus industry?
