Mary Glindon (North Tyneside) (Lab):
Arriva in North Tyneside is letting down my constituents. Buses do not turn up or are cancelled at short notice.
Surely enough is enough when pupils at North Gosforth Academy need counselling because they are so worried about getting to and from school. Can the Minister do something to force Arriva to be a more responsible and reliable service provider?

I have had similar issues in my North West Durham constituency with Arriva over the past few months. It is looking at some of these plans and, as part of the bus service improvement scheme, £163.5 million will be heading to the north-east. We are just finalising the details on that and looking at how we can improve transport services in the future. I look forward to working with the hon. Lady and other colleagues across the region to deliver that.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much money from the public purse has been paid to Arriva (a) to deliver bus services in Wakefield, (b) from the COVID-19 bus service support grant and (c) from the Bus Recovery Grant since 1 January 2019.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much money from the public purse has been paid to Arriva (a) to deliver bus services in Wakefield, (b) from the COVID-19 bus service support grant and (c) from the Bus Recovery Grant since 1 January 2019.
The Government has made available nearly £2 billion of support to date, through emergency and recovery grants, to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic for bus services. This includes a further £150 million to continue to provide COVID recovery support until October to give services the maximum amount of time to recover. We are unable to provide the amounts provided to individual operators under these schemes as this information is commercially sensitive. West Yorkshire Combined Authority received over £8 million in recovery funding through these schemes.
The Government also spends over £200 million every year through the Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG) to operators directly to keep fares down and make more bus routes viable. Arriva Yorkshire North Ltd, Arriva Yorkshire Ltd and Arriva Yorkshire West Ltd have received over £43 million in BSOG funding since 2010-11 to deliver services in Yorkshire, including Wakefield. The Government provides a further £42 million annually through the Bus Service Operators Grant to Local Authorities so that they can subsidise socially necessary bus services. West Yorkshire Combined Authority receives over £2 million of this funding annually.

The ‘Change of Control’ provisions in the Franchise Agreement give the Secretary of State unlimited right to reject any sale of a franchise such as those owned by Abellio and Arriva. In deciding whether to approve such a sale, the Secretary of State would consider the arrangements in place for securing the same or improved parent company guarantees and performance bond arrangements as currently exist. This consideration would include the financial standing of the new owning group and other elements of their capacity to honour existing commitments.
