Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to publish a national bus strategy; and if so, when any such strategy will be published.

On 30 September 2019, the Government announced that it will be committing to the UK’s first-ever long-term bus strategy and funding settlement. The strategy will focus on the needs of passengers and set out how Government, both local and national, and the private sector will come together to meet the needs of local communities. This long-term vision for buses will be accompanied by a long-term funding commitment.

The Government expects to consult on the strategy later in the year.
