Integration, IX, p. 64, § 5. Measures on completely regular spaces

If T is a completely regular Souslin (resp. Lusin) space, then the space M+b(T)\mathscr{M}_+^b(T) is Souslin (resp. Lusin).

For, consider a Polish space P and a continuous mapping ff of P onto T (GT, IX, §6, No. 2, Def. 2). Let f~\tilde{f} be the continuous mapping μ↦f(μ)\mu \mapsto f(\mu) of M+b(P)\mathscr{M}_+^b(P) into M+b(T)\mathscr{M}_+^b(T); the space M+b(P)\mathscr{M}_+^b(P) is Polish by Prop. 10, and f~\tilde{f} is surjective (§2, No. 4, Prop. 9); the space M+b(T)\mathscr{M}_+^b(T) is therefore Souslin. Similarly, if T is Lusin, then ff may be assumed to be injective (GT, loc. cit., No. 4, Prop. 12); then f~\tilde{f} is injective (§2, No. 4, Prop. 8), and so M+b(T)\mathscr{M}_+^b(T) is Lusin (GT, loc. cit., No. 4, Prop. 12).

Let T be a completely regular Souslin space (recall that for this, it suffices that T be Souslin and regular (TG, App. 1, Cor. of Prop. 2)), and let H be a compact subset of M+b(T)\mathscr{M}_+^b(T); then H is compact and Souslin, hence metrizable, for the tight topology (loc. cit., App. 1, Cor. 2 of Prop. 3).

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
