Labour (Co-op) — Wakefield and Rothwell

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 September 2024

Debate

Rural Bus Services

Contribution

As I said, it is important that local leaders get to decide—that they take back control of bus services, use the funding that is devolved to them and make informed decisions in their local areas. We want to learn from the experiences and build on the successes, and I look forward to announcing more information on the buses Bill and the Government’s plans for bus funding in due course.
