Labour (Co-op) — Wakefield and Rothwell

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 January 2026

Debate

Local Bus Services

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for his tireless work in campaigning for better bus services and funding for his constituents. I was delighted to confirm the over £3 billion of funding from 2026-27, including £5.1 million for Slough borough council. Local leaders should work to ensure that local authority bus grant funding is used to expand services, improve reliability and reduce fares for local people, and I support my hon. Friend in pressing his local council to do just that.
