Written question asked by Alex Mayer (Labour) on Monday, 16 December 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 18 December 2024. It was answered by Simon Lightwood (Labour) on Thursday, 19 December 2024 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Passenger Transport Executives

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if her Department will publish guidance on the process for establishing passenger transport executives.

Answer

The Department has no current plans to publish guidance on establishing a new Passenger Transport Executive. Setting up a new Passenger Transport Executive to coordinate local transport in its area would require amendments to legislation. Local and Combined Authorities already have a number of coordinating powers and functions in relation to transport. The English Devolution White Paper (December 2024) set out Government’s plans to provide additional transport powers and responsibilities to Local and Combined Authorities.
