Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many and what proportion of buses manufactured outside of the UK were procured using Government funding schemes in each of the last five years.

My department does not hold that specific information as local authorities procure buses.

However, through the Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas programme, in phase 1, 491 zero emission buses out of 1194 (41.1%) were manufactured outside of the UK. For phase 2 of the programme, 567 zero emission buses out of 1269 (44.7%) were manufactured outside of the UK.
