James Davies
Conservative, Vale of Clwyd
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to support private coach and bus companies facing financial difficulty as a result of the covid-19 outbreak.
Rachel Maclean
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Government is supporting essential bus services across England with a funding package totalling £397 million.
In March the Chancellor announced £330 billion of guarantees, so businesses, such as coach operators, have access to the funds to pay essential bills. This includes the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme and the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, which has been extended until the end of October.
