Buses

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he will publish the report of the consultation on local authority special grant funding in 2010–11 for the national bus concession in England. My Lords, I beg leave to ask the Question standing in my name on the Order Paper. In doing so, I declare an interest as an elected member of a London borough council and—I may not be alone in this—as a holder of a Freedom Pass.
Answer

My Lords, the consultation on local authority special grant funding in 2010-11 closed on 30 December. My department is in the process of analysing the responses. I am mindful of the deadline for local authorities to finalise their budgets and I intend to announce final funding allocations very shortly.
