Proceeding contribution from Lindsay Hoyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 April 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Transport (North-West).
Transport (North-West)
The hon. Gentleman is absolutely correct. Money comes in and a bus service is provided, but as soon as the money runs out, the bus operators cut the service. Instead of building up the number of people who use it, all they do is look for a grant and get out as soon as the money is gone. I agree that we ought to ensure that bus companies sign up for longevity, not short-term gain.
