HC Deb 20 January 1972 vol 829 c256W
Mr. Redmond

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what financial control the county council of Manchester will have over the finances of S.E.L.N.E.C. Passenger Transport Executive.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

The Greater Manchester County Council will become the Passenger Transport Authority for the Metropolitan County. The Passenger Transport Executive will have to secure the Authority's approval for annual and other estimates of income and expenditure, for any substantial capital expenditure and before making any changes in the general level of fares.

The Authority will appoint the Executive and decide their salaries and other conditions of service.
