<p>The funding for 4000 zero emission buses formed part of my Rt. Hon. Friend the
Prime Minister’s commitment to £5 billion of new funding announced in February to
overhaul bus and cycle links for every region outside London.</p><p>The Government
recognises the importance of bringing together co-ordinated policy action across all
departments, to achieve net zero. Two cabinet committees have been established, chaired
by the Prime Minister and my Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Business,
Energy and Industrial Strategy. These Committees are driving forward the net zero
transition and co-ordinating action across Government. At official level, there are
also regular discussions between departments on issues relating to transport decarbonisation,
as there are for decarbonisation in other sectors of the economy.</p>
