This included local economic development in the area, the creation and/or retention of jobs and apprenticeships related to the maintenance of zero emission vehicles, including batteries and fuel cells, and supporting infrastructure.</p><p> </p><p>The UK Government has no role in the procurement of buses, this is the responsibility of the LTA and the bus operator. During the procurement process for ZEBs, LTAs and bus operators tend to consider criteria such as value for money and route suitability, rather than geographical origins. Their priority is to procure the right vehicle, for the right location, based on quality and value for money.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 29/04/2024 13:27:01 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
