The Prime Minister
Yes, of course. Rural need and rural sparsity will certainly be taken into account, as we will take into account the needs of all towns and communities. It is not only that these buses will help people to get to work or wherever they need to go; they give businesses the certainty and confidence that they can invest in that town, in the knowledge that they can employ people who can commute easily.
Kate Green (Stretford and Urmston) (Lab)
I welcome today’s announcements, both on rail and on buses. In relation to buses in Greater Manchester, can we have an urgent decision on funding for the clean freight and clean bus funds?
The Prime Minister
These will be the cleanest, greenest buses that the country has ever seen, but we will certainly make use of the clean bus fund.
