Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many minibuses have been delivered under his Department's Community Transport Minibus scheme; and how many such buses are still on order under that scheme.

Each Community Transport provider has different users with different needs. To ensure the organisation receives a vehicle that best suits their requirements they have been able to specify the adaptions needed to the vehicle. The number of vehicles awarded under the Fund and the bespoke nature of these has stretched the supply chain and delivery schedule.

As of 12 October 2016, 167 minibuses have been delivered and 185 remain on order.
