§ Sir John Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will give a general direction to the chairman of British Railways and the National Bus Company better to co-ordinate the timing of connecting trains and buses; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. David MitchellMy right hon. Friend has no plans to give any general directions on the matter to the chairmen concerned but the ending of local bus monopoly and the introduction of passenger-hungry competitive bus services can be expected to lead to bus services better meeting public demand.
