PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Bus Services: Wallasey (29 October 2018)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many supported bus services have been provided in Wallasey constituency in each year since 2010.

Asked by:
Dame Angela Eagle (Labour)

Answer

Up until 31 December 2013 Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG) was paid directly to bus operators and was not split between commercially run or subsidised bus services. We are therefore unable to provide figures for this period. From 1 January 2014 local authorities have received funding equivalent to the level of BSOG which would otherwise have been paid to operators for running subsidised services in 2014. Details of the amounts paid to local authorities each year can be found on the “Payments to Local Authorities” tab of the relevant spreadsheets published at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/bus-services-grants-and-funding#bsog-spend
