To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to prepare for bus workers going on strike this month.
Answered on

The Government is committed to ensuring that everyone, everywhere has access to great bus services and regularly engages with bus operators on a variety of issues.
Where there are disputes between a private entity and its employees relating to employees’ terms and conditions, it is the responsibility of the company concerned to resolve these issues and make conditions for their employees sufficiently appealing.
The Government recognises the importance of bus services to the everyday lives of the travelling public. Where industrial action is set to occur, we expect operators to make efforts to minimise disruption and to ensure those reliant on their services can still travel.
