	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2018 answer text <p>£250m of Bus Services Operators Grant (BSOG) payments are made to bus companies and local authorities. BSOG spend figures have been published on Gov.uk annually since the 2010-11 financial year. Details can be found via this link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/bus-services-grants-and-funding#bsog-spend" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/bus-services-grants-and-funding#bsog-spend</a></p><p> </p><p>Up until 31 December 2013 Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG) was paid directly to bus operators and was not split between commercially run or subsidised bus services. From 1 January 2014 local authorities have received funding equivalent to the level of BSOG which would otherwise have been paid to operators for running subsidised services in 2014. BSOG spend figures are only broken down to upper tier local authority level. It should also be noted that the local authorities listed in the tables are derived from the address given on the BSOG claim form. It does not follow that the services to which the claim relates were necessarily all or partly conducted in that area.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 06/11/2018 16:31:39 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
