Disability Employment Gap

"I am pleased to see the shadow Secretary of State nodding his head. It is a little churlish of him to criticise us for not narrowing the gap in the first year since the election. He is quite right to point out that the gap has broadened—[Interruption.] …..."

Written Question
Bus Services: Blackpool
Friday 26th February 2016

Asked by: Paul Maynard (Conservative - Blackpool North and Cleveleys)

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, for what reason his Department decided not to renew funding of the extension of the Number 14 bus service to Peel Park.

Answered by Justin Tomlinson

The commitment at the time of the relocation of staff to Peel Park was to provide a bus service for three years. The cost of the current contract to provide the bus service is £216,955.50 per year and the actual usage of the service is low.

Blackpool Transport have made it clear any new contract will be at an increased amount and a decision was made that it was not possible to justify public expenditure and subsidy on this scale.

We are exploring alternatives which would offer better value for money, but no decision has yet been made.
