To ask His Majesty's Government what is the annual VAT loss from zero-rating rail fares.
HMRC’s published statistics on the cost of tax reliefs[1] provide an estimate of the cost of the VAT Zero Rate for domestic passenger transport of £5.8 billion in 2025-26. This includes other public transport such as buses; a breakdown for rail fares is not available.

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill on 28 May (HL40), whether they have now made an estimate of the capital and ongoing operating costs of developing, launching and maintaining the proposed Great British Railways ticketing website and mobile application.
Potential estimates will not be published in advance of the launch and completion of the procurement process, as these are commercially sensitive.
We have recently communicated to the supplier market our target of launching the procurement process in late Summer/early Autumn.
I wish to inform the House that the Government is today announcing single bus tickets will be capped at £2 in England outside London from 1 January until 31 December 2027. This measure will mean millions of passengers could save up to a third off a single journey, helping with...

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 8 July 2026 to Question 14435 on Aviation: Alternative Fuels, whether the cost-benefit analysis for the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Mandate modelled the potential impact of SAF compliance costs on (a) package holiday prices and (b) demand for...

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Mandate cost benefit analysis estimated the potential impact that SAF Mandate compliance costs could have on UK aviation demand. There was not a specific assessment of the demand impact on outbound leisure travel, or the impact on package holiday prices, as this will be dependent on how individual airlines and package holiday providers choose to pass on any costs.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she has taken to make bus travel more affordable for children and young people in (a) Newcastle-under-Lyme and (b) Staffordshire.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she has taken to make bus travel more affordable for children and young people in (a) Newcastle-under-Lyme and (b) Staffordshire.
The Government has introduced a £3 cap on single bus fares in England outside London, including in Newcastle-under-Lyme and Staffordshire, and has extended the cap until March 2027 to help passengers continue to access affordable bus travel.
In addition, the Government is providing funding for children aged 5 to 15 to travel free on participating local bus services in England during August 2026.
The Government has also confirmed over £3 billion from 2026/27 to support and improve bus services. Staffordshire County Council will receive £33.3 million through the Local Authority Bus Grant from 2026/27 to 2028/29. This funding can be used to improve services for passengers, including introducing local fares initiatives to reduce the cost of bus travel for children and young people.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the answer of 26 June 2026 to Question 11220 on Aviation: Alternative Fuels, what assumptions were made in the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Mandate cost-benefit analysis on the proportion of increased ticket prices that would be passed through by airlines to...

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Mandate cost-benefit analysis set out the estimates of the impact on an average one-way ticket price (Sustainable aviation fuel mandate: final stage cost benefit analysis). This analysis assumes that airlines pass on 75% of the additional costs of the SAF Mandate onto consumers. The year-on-year costs for different ticket-types was not part of the cost-benefit analysis, as this will be dependent on how individual airlines choose to distribute additional costs.
Eligibility criteria for the Low Carbon Fuels Fund will be provided in the guidance for applicants, which will be released upon the launch of the competition this summer. In the previous Advanced Fuels Fund competition, eligibility criteria included the categories of main fuel output, technology readiness level, feedstocks, greenhouse gas emissions, location, project lead and grant offer terms and conditions.

As previously stated, an assessment of the costs of SAF policies and the impact on air fares was conducted as part of the published SAF Mandate cost-benefit analysis.
The SAF Mandate is designed to protect against excessive costs being passed on to passengers with a buyout option for obligated suppliers, with a built-in review process so the Government can take action if necessary. How airlines choose to pass on costs to passengers will be a commercial decision for each airline. As such, it is not possible to predict how individual airlines will choose to do this or the impacts this will have on UK outbound travel routes.

I commend the hon. Gentleman for securing this debate. As he is well aware, West Dorset is similar to my constituency, with market towns and many townlands rather than towns, and the profitability of public transport can be questionable. However, does he agree that the bottom line is not the...

My hon. Friend and neighbour is right to raise the pertinent issues of older buses and the closing of depots, which are directly linked. I hope that has been heard by the Minister.

Interconnectivity goes across not just buses but other modes of transport such as trains. There is a petition in one of my rural areas where, pre-covid, trains ran every 30 minutes; that is now every two hours, and there is a big gap in the middle of the day. Does...

I agree 100%—talk to anyone who has got off the last train from Crewkerne when the last bus stopped two hours beforehand. We are depriving our communities of the ability to get around, and of course there is an economic impact to that.
