Questions Asked by This MP
Parliamentary questions and government responses.
Response classifications show how directly each question was answered.
As a North Yorkshire MP, my right hon. Friend will know how crucial bus services are to our communities. Last month, Arriva stopped the only bus between Selby and Doncaster, meaning that 40 Selby College students had to find alternative transport at very short notice. Thankfully, the college itself stepped in to resolve the situation. Additionally, across North Yorkshire around 80 other bus services are now under threat. Can my right hon. Friend advise what action he will take to ensure that essential services are not withdrawn at short notice, and to ensure that they continue to be operated across the Selby district and wider North Yorkshire?
Context
Arriva stopped the only bus service between Selby and Doncaster, affecting 40 Selby College students. Around 80 other bus services across North Yorkshire are under threat.
Rishi Sunak
My right hon. Friend is absolutely right. He knows that I share exactly the same challenge in our rural areas of making sure that our constituents have access to the bus services they need. I am pleased that the Chancellor has allocated funding for extra bus services across the country, and I look forward to working with him to ensure that that money finds its way to rural areas such as North Yorkshire to provide the connectivity that is so important for people to have opportunity and get access to public services.
Assessment
Did not specify immediate action to prevent bus service withdrawals, only future funding allocation.

What is the Foreign Secretary doing to ensure that the UK is on the front foot in planning how to fund post-war reconstruction of Ukraine?
Context

James Cleverly
The UK will be hosting the Ukraine reconstruction conference in June. We are doing what the UK perhaps does best: bringing together influential voices and finance, ensuring they meet and talk, and putting an arm of protection around Ukrainians for the foreseeable future.

Important Context
- - Ministers answer questions rather than asking them, so have different activity patterns
- - Activity quantity doesn't measure quality or effectiveness of representation
- - Some MPs focus more on constituency work than parliamentary questions
- - Newly elected MPs will have less parliamentary history
