HC Deb 02 April 1992 vol 222 c440W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the effect on traffic congestion of increasing use of smaller midibuses.

Mr. Norris

Midibuses are more manoeuvrable and smaller than traditional buses. They have proved to be popular with passengers. I have seen no evidence that bus size has any significant impact on traffic congestion.
