27. Mrs. Organ

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what measures he is taking to encourage the improvement of bus services. [73439]

We have made an additional £150 million available to local authorities over 3 years to support rural bus services and an additional £700 million of capital resources for local transport expenditure. Our policy proposals for buses were set out in the Transport White Paper last July.
