Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 September 2024

Debate

Bus Franchising

Contribution

Enough is enough. This mission-focused Government were elected to repair what is broken, and to reform what does not work. We are clear about the fact that better buses are essential to a better Britain, and that buses are a route not just to connection but to economic growth, cleaner air and a fairer chance in life for everyone. That is why my right honourable friend the Transport Secretary has made fixing this country’s broken bus network one of her top priorities in her department and it is why, just two months into office, we are kick-starting a bus revolution that will put services back into the hands of local leaders, achieving in just 10 weeks what the last Government failed to achieve in more than 14 years.
