§ Dr. GilbertCalculation of the implications for fares levels of the provision in Cmnd. 6393 for bus revenue support for 1980 is heavily dependent upon a whole range of assumptions about, for example, decisions on the outcome of the Transport Policy Review, future movement in real costs and future levels of demand and of services.
