Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 7 October 2024

Debate

Bus Fares: National Cap

Contribution

The most important aspect in taking this forward is that it is for local determination. The money going to local authorities is not ring-fenced; they are able to look at different schemes for their particular localities. In areas where youth schemes have been brought in, they have been very successful—look at how Greater Manchester is moving forward, with an increase in passengers. I hope we can roll it out across the country.
