The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of changes to Bus Service Improvement Plan funding on school travel costs.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

We are providing nearly £700 million per year to help local transport authorities deliver their Bus Service Improvement Plans, including more than £29 million allocated to East Sussex County Council over the next three years. This funding can be used to help reduce the cost of bus travel to education.
