40. Mr. Fox

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in the light of the proposals in the Government's White Paper on Local Government in England, Command Paper No. 4584, he will make a statement about the future of the passenger transport authorities.

Mr. Peyton

It is proposed that when local government is re-organised the functions and responsibilities of the Passenger Transport Authorities should be assumed by the new Metropolitan Councils.
