Bus Service Operators Grant
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sugg on 2 May (HL7047), what evidence there is that local authorities have used the Bus Operators' Grant to fund supported bus services, which they had previously supported from their own funds.
- Answer
-
The Bus Services Operators grant (BSOG) devolved to Local Authorities is ring-fenced and may only be used for the purposes of supporting bus services. At year-end the Chief Executive and Chief Internal Auditor of each recipient authority must return a declaration to the Department for Transport that the grant conditions have been complied with. It is up to individual local authorities to choose how they spend un-ringfenced funding, however local authorities are required to report annually on their spend.
