Louise Haigh

Labour — Sheffield Heeley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 October 2024

Debate

Local Bus Services

Contribution

The hon. Lady is absolutely right to suggest that the underfunding of bus services over a decade has led to the cancellation and scrapping of thousands of bus routes across the country, and passenger numbers have fallen over the last 40 years. We are committed to consolidating funding and ending the “Hunger Games” style process that the previous Government oversaw, which pitted authorities against each other and created winners and losers.
