§ Mr. Peter Millsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has studied the report by the Devon Group of Transport 2000, a copy of which has been sent to him; and if he will make a statement on the Government's future policy towards rural transport, particularly in the South-West of England.
§ Mr. MulleyI have noted the report with interest. Rural transport, like many of the other topics it covers, falls within the responsibility of the new county councils under Section 203 of the Local Government Act 1972.
