Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of the £150 million support package for bus and light rail operators announced on 1 March 2022 will be allocated to operators in the North East of England.
Allocations for the Bus and Light Rail recovery package have not yet been made. The Department has requested information from bus operators and Local Transport Authorities to enable us to make these allocations, which will be on the basis of need.
