HC Deb 27 October 1982 vol 29 c453W
29. Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will study the increased costs and reduced services offered by public transport with a view to devising a system which may reduce costs and expand services.

Mr. Eyre:

The best way to contain costs is by improved efficiency and greater responsiveness to changing patterns of demand. The Government have initiated a number of studies and taken other measures to encourage accountability and effective financial management in public transport undertakings.
