It is important to base our decisions on evidence and the Scottish experience will be crucial to that before we consider any possible changes to the limits in England and Wales.

tabling member constituency	Mid Sussex
tabling member printed	Sir Nicholas Soames
uin	25380
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2016 answer text <p>Buses play a vital role as the backbone of our public transport system and are key to a healthy growing economy. We want to see the bus industry thrive and are introducing a Buses Bill which will provide local authorities and bus operators with a wider, more effective range of tools to improve local bus services. The Bill will include arrangements to allow commercial bus operators to work more effectively in partnership with local government and other local stakeholders.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, the Government decided that financial support for bus services provided through the Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG) system – around £250m a year - should be protected as part of the 2015 spending round, preserving millions of bus passenger journeys. Around £200m of that is paid to individual bus operators, according to how much fuel they use in running their services. The remaining funding is paid to local authorities to help support bus services in their areas. DfT is reforming BSOG to make it more effective, and plans to publish details of changes to the system in early 2016. This should improve the grant’s effectiveness in supporting bus services, and provide better value to the taxpayer.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 09/02/2016 14:35:17 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

uin	25386
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2016 answer text <p>The devolution deal agreement with Greater Manchester will provide the city region with a devolved and consolidated local transport budget. The deal also provides Greater Manchester with other funding and flexibilities that it can use to invest in transport if it chooses. In addition, there are national investment programmes that will benefit Greater Manchester. Such an estimate is therefore dependent on decisions that are still to be taken locally and nationally.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 09/02/2016 14:00:17 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
