Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Simon Lightwood and Alex Mayer

Thursday 11th September 2025 Commons Chamber

[Simon Lightwood]

I will meet the hon. Member.

[Alex Mayer (Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard) (Lab)]

T9. Does the Minister agree that extending the Dunstable-Luton busway on to Leighton Buzzard and then Bletchley would be a real boon to more fully link the area into the Oxford-Cambridge growth area?

[Simon Lightwood]

Responsibility for local transport is devolved to local authorities, which are responsible for the operation of their networks, including the extension of busways. The Government are committed to the Ox-Cam growth corridor. Lord Vallance has been tasked with exploring options on how best to deliver economic growth in that area.
