Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he plans to extend Bus Recovery Grant funding beyond March 31 2023.

The Government has made available nearly £2 billion since March 2020, through emergency and recovery grants, to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic on the bus sector. This support is currently in place until the end of March 2023. The Department is actively considering its support for the bus sector from April 2023 and will set out further details shortly.
