In a reply to a parliamentary question I received from the Minister this time last year, he indicated that the Government would no longer purchase diesel only buses from July of this year. He went on to state comprehensive trials would be conducted towards the end of last year to determine what type of buses would be bought in the future. I understand that those trials did not take place last year and that they took place early this year, or perhaps they are still taking place. In light of the commitment the Minister gave, will he set out the types and numbers of replacement non-diesel only buses the Government intends to purchase over the coming years?
