Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how much of the £5 billion announced in the Budget 2020 on 11 March for bus services over the next five years will be allocated, or available, to the areas covered by Transport for the North; and what will be the role of Transport for the North in the allocation of this funding.
The details of the £5 billion of new funding to overhaul bus and cycle links for every region outside London will be announced in the upcoming National Bus Strategy, to be published later this year at the Comprehensive Spending Review.
