Proceeding contribution from Norman Baker (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 January 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sustainable Transport.
Sustainable Transport
This is not a top-down approach. We are setting high-level targets for local authorities to create growth and cut carbon, and we are leaving it to them to come up with the solutions that fit their particular patch. The answer for Manchester will be very different from the answer for Bristol, so it is not for me or other Ministers to say what is best for Manchester. Our job is to set the vision and to provide the money and let local councils get on with it. If Manchester wants to come up with something that helps bus services in that way, it is welcome to do so.
