question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to provide additional resources to support bus services in England so that some of the routes stopped since 2010 can be restored.
tabling member printed	Lord Ouseley
uin	HL10092
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2018 answer text <p>The bus market in England is deregulated. Any decision to cut bus routes lies with the commercial operator. In 2016/17 £2.21 billion was provided by the Government to support bus services in England. This support includes local authority payments for supported services, and £250 million of Bus Service Operators Grant payments with £43m of this being paid directly to local authorities to run services that are socially necessary. In 2017 the Government also introduced the Bus Services Act, providing a number of tools to help improve bus services for passengers, and are working with a number of interested local authorities to determine which of the powers provided in the Act are best able to support bus networks in their local areas.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 18/09/2018 13:13:25 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
