Sir Mike Penning speaks in debate on Wrightbus
Sir Mike Penning speaks in a debate on the situation at Wrightbus in Northern Ireland and urges London to buy buses from the company.
Sir Mike Penning (Hemel Hempstead) (Con)
As I drove through London to the House today lots of Wrightbus buses were to be seen, bought by the excellent previous Conservative Mayor. One intervention that could go ahead and make the company viable to be sold is the London Mayor buying the right bus for London, which is Wrightbus.
Julian Smith
I do not think it would be appropriate for me to make bus-buying recommendations, but I say again that the technology of Wrightbus and the energy at Wrightbus mean that there is a good future for it if we can get a successful buyer.
