To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the GPS based pay as you go trial between Sheffield and Barnsley has commenced.
Three Digital Pay As You Go (DPAYG) trials have successfully launched across the North and Midlands. The final trial, originally due to go live in November 2025, has been delayed. During rigorous pre-launch testing, issues were identified that would have prevented the DPAYG application from functioning as intended for participants.
To ensure the trial delivers the best possible passenger experience and provides robust data for evaluation, the decision was taken to postpone the launch until these issues were resolved.
We continue to work closely with Northern and the supplier to address the problems and launch as soon as possible. Northern will provide an update to participants in the respective trial in due course.

As the Chancellor informed Parliament on 29 July, an internal review of the Department’s capital spend portfolio has been commissioned. The primary aim of the review is to provide strategic advice to the Secretary of State, which may in turn inform decisions on specific projects as part of the multiyear Spending Review. Schemes below are subject to this review and therefore we cannot give any assurances around delivery of these schemes until the Spending Review concludes.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, for what reason her Department plans to provide higher funding per hour for childcare in London than in Barnsley.
The Government currently funds local authorities to deliver the government-funded entitlements through the Early Years National Funding Formula (EYNFF) for 3 and 4-year-olds and a separate formula for 2-year-olds. These have been designed to allocate our record investment in early years entitlement funding fairly and transparently across the country.
The EYNFF is made up of a universal base rate, (which is the same hourly funding rate for every child in a local authority) plus funding factors for additional needs, using measures of free school meals; disability living allowance and English as an additional language. The formula also includes an area cost adjustment (ACA) multiplier to reflect variations in costs across different areas of the country. This uses the General Labour Market measure to reflect staff costs and a Rates Cost Adjustment to reflect premises related costs. Each local authority’s EYNFF rate will vary depending on their level of additional needs and their ACA values.
Following a consultation in 2022, the department updated the funding formulae to ensure the funding system remains fair, effective and responsive to changing levels of need across different local authorities.
On 7 July the department announced that the additional £204 million funding for early years in 2023/24, announced at the Spring Budget in March, will be distributed to local authorities via a standalone Early Years Supplementary Grant (EYSG) from September 2023.
To recognise cost variations between local authority areas, we have used the existing funding formulae for 2, 3 and 4-year-olds (and using the same underlying weightings and data that were used to calculate the 2023/24 hourly funding rates) to determine the EYSG rates for each individual local authority.
With the introduction of the new entitlements for working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years from 2024/25, we have recently finished consulting on our proposed funding formula for distributing funding to local authorities, along with the accompanying local rules for local authorities to follow when passing on this funding to early years providers. That consultation closed on 8 September and we will announce our response and confirm the final hourly funding rates for 2024/25 in the autumn.
We will ensure a phased implementation of the free hours offers, to allow the market to develop the necessary capacity as well as continuing to explore how we can support the sector to deliver the additional places that will be required.
We will work closely with local authorities and providers to identify what needs to be in place to support this significant expansion in childcare provision including capital requirements as well as workforce.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the (a) frequency and (b) reliability of bus services in (i) Barnsley and (ii) each region.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the (a) frequency and (b) reliability of bus services in (i) Barnsley and (ii) each region.
The Department publishes data on reliability & punctuality but not on frequency of bus services. The Department publishes data on average excess waiting time for frequent services at a regional and local transport authority level and the proportion of non-frequent bus services running on time at a local transport authority level only. Data for Barnsley is not available as figures are not collected at this level of granularity. The available data can found be in table BUS09 on GOV.UK: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1133041/bus09.ods.
The Government has invested over £3.5 billion to support and improve bus services since March 2020. This includes over £1 billion of funding for English Local Transport Authorities outside London to support the delivery of their Bus Service Improvement Plans and help to make buses more frequent, more reliable, easier to understand and use, better coordinated and cheaper as set out in the National Bus Strategy
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has made an assessment of land stability in the Barnsley Coalfield.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has made an assessment of land stability in the Barnsley Coalfield.
The Coal Authority, a Partner Organisation of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, plays an important role in managing public safety and ground stability across the former British Coalfield areas. The Authority does not carry inspections of coalfield areas as a whole but has a programme of proactive inspections of locations where they are aware of former mine workings which includes those in the Barnsley Coalfield area.
Fibre in the water has been a fantastic and innovative project. We expect to complete the research in May, and I hope to be able to update my hon. Friend, who has been doing fantastic work on this.

A year ago, the Department announced that Penistone had been chosen for the UK’s first trial to deliver high-speed broadband through water pipes. The fibre in the water project, which is happening in partnership with Yorkshire Water, is of huge interest to my constituents as it promises the opportunity for rural areas to access high-speed broadband without the cost and inconvenience of major infrastructure works. Will the Minister update me on the progress of the project and tell me how quickly my constituents might see the benefits?
