It is a pleasure to see you in the Chair, Sir Alec. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard (Alex Mayer) for securing her first Westminster Hall debate and for her sustained interest in the quality of bus stops and local transport provision. As the roads Minister, I recognise the importance of bus stops and their effect on the streetscape. I welcome my hon. Friend's support for the Bus Services Act 2025, which places passenger needs and local accountability at the heart of bus services. The Act gives local leaders greater freedom and tools to shape networks around the communities they serve. We have allocated almost £700 million a year through the local authority bus grant for the three years from 2026-27 to 2028-29. Local transport authorities are expected to work closely with operators and local communities and to maintain an up-to-date bus service improvement plan. My hon. Friend argued that local transport authorities should have clear responsibility for bus stops. I understand the force of that point. The Government's approach already places the local transport authority in the lead for planning and improving the bus network through its bus services improvement plan and, where relevant, the enhanced partnership. We expect local plans to join up services, infrastructure and passenger information. We have published updated guidance and a practical manual, including minimum standards for enhanced partnerships to adopt by March of next year. We will continue to share good practice and the Bus Centre of Excellence will provide targeted support where it is most needed. I recognise the case made for a national bus stop standard, but careful consideration is needed before taking action to prescribe a uniform national standard. Our present approach is to set a clear national framework and provide guidance while asking local transport authorities to establish and deliver standards suited to local circumstances through their bus service improvement plans. Good passenger information is central to standards, and we are clear that stops should display up-to-date information about the services calling there. Accessibility remains fundamental to the wider picture, and the Bus Services Act 2025 introduced measures including bus network accessibility plans and powers for statutory guidance on the safety and accessibility of stopping places. We have issued statutory guidance and asked authorities to pause new installations of floating bus stops while further research is undertaken. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard for bringing this issue to the Chamber. We agree on the central point that bus stops are not a peripheral piece of street furniture; they are an essential part of the bus network and the passenger experience.
