Simon Lightwood
I thank my hon. Friend for her question. This sounds like a scheme that could benefit from the structures fund.
Sir Julian Smith (Skipton and Ripon) (Con)
The Government are rightly focused on bus services, but can I urge them to also think carefully about safety in bus stations? We have a big problem at Skipton bus station at the moment and there is no CCTV. I encourage the Minister to focus on local authorities and mayors to get obligatory CCTV in our bus stations to keep people safe.
Lilian Greenwood
The Government have committed to a number of ideas to improve the safety of the travelling public, especially women and girls, and that includes looking at safety in bus stations. I will ensure that the particular issue the right hon. Gentleman raises is examined.
