LONDON'S NIGHT BUSES

That this House recognises the importance of nightbus provision, particularly in outer London, and believes that such provision must be protected; further believes that without these services the use of illegal minicabs will rise, potentially placing the people who use these services in jeopardy; further recognises the wider benefits that an affordable night-time bus service brings to London such as social inclusion, mobility for the elderly, flexibility and value for those working during the night, supporting London's vibrant night-time economy and reductions in congestion and carbon emissions; and calls on the Mayor of London to do his utmost to ensure the maintenance of vital bus services such as the cancelled N213.
