HC Deb 06 August 1980 vol 990 cc196-7W
Mr. Lawrence

asked the Minister of Transport if he will list the local authorities which do not operate their own municipal bus services; and whether the bus services are provided by private or State-owned companies.

Mr. Fowler

Those local authorities which do operate services are shown below; the remainder do not operate such services. In the case of the latter, the area boundaries do not coincide with operators networks so that there is a wide variety of combinations of NBC routes, private company and municipal services. To identify and set out all these could be done only at disproportionate cost.
