The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Bus Services (No.2) Bill [Lords] on Wales.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Bus Services (No.2) Bill primarily applies in England only. However, a small number of measures apply to Wales.

My officials are engaging with the Welsh Government to discuss the Bill’s interaction with Wales. This is in the context of the Welsh Government bringing forward the Bus Services (Wales) Bill, which proposes a fundamental restructure of Welsh bus services. These discussions are ongoing.
