Wales The Department for Transport administers BSOG on behalf of the Welsh government who set the BSOG rates and fund the scheme in Wales. The UK government raised Fuel Duty by 2p/litre in 2007, but the Welsh Government, and the Scottish Government refused to provide a compensatory increase in BSOG rates, with both devolved administrations citing budget difficulties following declines in budget consequentials from that year's UK government spending review. Northern Ireland Transport was not de-regulated in Northern Ireland in 1985 and bus services are delivered through Translink. The Department for Infrastructure provided the Fuel Duty Rebate until it was withdrawn entirely in 2013. The rebate has not since been reinstated.
