Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she review the overall objectives of the Local Transport Grant to ensure that manufacturers of zero emission buses across the whole of the UK can benefit.

The Department keeps the objectives and operation of all its local transport funding streams under regular review to ensure they support decarbonisation, growth and improved passenger outcomes. Our wider zero emission bus policy is designed to stimulate demand across the UK, with bus operators and local transport authorities transitioning fleets and creating opportunities for domestic manufacturers.
