The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with the Mayor of London on supporting London bus drivers during periods of industrial action on the London Underground.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Transport in London is devolved to the Mayor of London and Transport for London, this includes bus services operating in the Capital. While the Department works closely with Transport for London on a range of issues, the operation of the bus network is for Transport for London and its contractors.
