Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 June 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [Lords].


Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [Lords]

I know that the Secretary of State is committed to ensuring that buses are environmentally friendly and meet the net zero targets that we all want to be met. Wrightbus in Ballymena, in Northern Ireland, is a leading producer of hydrogen buses, which provide safe, reliable, cost-effective transport. Has the Secretary of State been able to have any discussions with Wrightbus—which supplies buses in London and elsewhere in the UK—with a view to ensuring that everyone in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland can take advantage of that innovative technology?
