Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of devolving responsibility for Transport Focus in Scotland to the Scottish Government.

The Government has no plans to review the position of transport Focus in Scotland. The Scottish Government already has an important role in Transport Focus through the member of Transport Focus’s Board who is appointed by Scottish Ministers. Transport Focus also has well established links with the Scottish Government and ministers, Transport Scotland, and with a number of other Scottish transport bodies, who it works closely with as it advocates for transport users.
