15. Mr. Truswell

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he is taking to facilitate the introduction of bus quality contracts outside London. [159444]

Mr. McNulty

As I announced on 4 February, we are taking steps to improve the potential effectiveness of the bus quality contract provisions in the Transport Act 2000. We are about to consult stakeholders on the proposal to reduce the 21-month implementation period to a shorter minimum period in the range 6–15 months.
