Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what criteria they used to decide the frequency with which additional members of the UK bus manufacturing expert panel should attend meetings.

The membership of the UK Bus Manufacturing Expert Panel comprises two classifications: Standing Members and Additional Members. Standing Members include Government departments and wider industry bodies. Additional Members will be invited to relevant meetings when particular issues are under consideration.

The frequency with which Additional Members will attend meetings is based on their expertise and knowledge of relevant meeting topics.
