State Opening of Parliament – AA comments

Commenting on the State Opening of Parliament today, Edmund King, AA president, said; “We welcome the ‘Better Buses Bill' as this could help ease congestion on roads across the country. We believe the Bill could improve connectivity in urban areas, especially if successful Park & Ride schemes, such as those in Oxford and Cambridge, can be used as a blueprint of best practice.

“With the motor industry evolving at a rapid rate with the rise of electric vehicles, connected and autonomous vehicles, it is vital that the future workforce is upskilled. The creation of Skills England can help encourage apprentices to the automotive sector and help unlock their potential.

“We look forward to working with the Government to tackle the priorities of drivers* such as fixing potholes, delivering fuel price transparency and improving road safety.”
