Bus Services: Scotland
Asked by: Euan Stainbank (Labour - Falkirk) Monday 20th October 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions her Department has had with the Scottish Government on extending the provisions of the Bus Services Bill to Scotland. Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) Policy responsibility for transport in Scotland is devolved to the Scottish Government. Any decisions on adopting measures in the Bus Services (No. 2) Bill relating to devolved matters are for them to make. These constitute the vast majority of Bill measures. Department for Transport officials have engaged with Scottish Government counterparts to discuss measures in the Bill throughout its passage. As a result of this engagement, an amendment was made in the House of Commons extending the powers to prohibit the use of new non-zero emission buses from no earlier than 2030 to the Bill. The Government is also committed to working with and sharing best practice with the devolved governments in Scotland and Wales as bus reform is carried out in England.
