Liberal Democrat — North Shropshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 September 2024

Debate

Oswestry to Gobowen Railway Line

Contribution

Bearing in mind that local councils are a hair’s breadth away from issuing section 114 notices and are only likely to deliver statutory services in their area, what kind of additional funding will be available from the Government for them to be able to franchise their own bus services? I ask that because it seems to me that it is all very well councils having the power to deliver such services, but unless they have the funding to do so, it will not bring about the results that we would like to see.
