answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 answer text <p>In Northern Ireland, transport is an entirely devolved matter.</p><p> </p><p>However, looking more widely, on 12 October 2017, the Secretary of State for Transport published the Final Statement of Funds Available (SoFA) for the railway in England and Wales for Control Period 6, which covers the five years 2019 to 2024 and we expect around £47.9 billion to be spent on the railway during that time.</p><p> </p><p>We have some of the most intensively used railways in Europe, and this investment focuses on the essential work needed to ensure their safety and reliability, including funding to support a significant increase in renewals activity compared to the current period, and increased maintenance spend to allow Network Rail to meet the challenges of a busier network.</p><p> </p><p>The renovation of buses is a commercial matter for operators. However, since 2010, the Government has provided £67 million to local authorities in England to retrofit their existing bus fleet to a minimum Euro VI standard. Devolved authorities can implement their own retrofit schemes, with the Scottish Government recently launching the second round of their £7.5 million Bus Emissions Abatement Retrofit (BEAR) Programme.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 01/11/2018 16:02:02 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
