Proceeding contribution from Chris Vince (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 September 2025. It occurred during Speaker's statement and Debate on bill on Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [Lords].
Bus Services (No. 2) Bill [Lords]
I welcome the shadow Minister to his place. My question is on his comments on profitability. Part of the challenge we have found in Essex is that routes that were considered not profitable were being cut, which meant that rural communities were feeling isolated. Does he recognise that if bus services are based purely on profitability, they could be lost, and that that is an issue?
