§ Mr. DobsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish a full list of all organisations to whom his Department sent, and from whom his Department has received responses, regarding the consultation paper on the operation of local bus services outside London, together with the addresses of each such organisation.
§ Mr. Freeman[holding answer 18 January 1994]: My Department initially issued 56 copies of the consultation paper to individual bus operators, local authorities and to their associations and to bus user groups. We issued copies subsequently to all, including individuals, who requested it. We received 135 responses from organisations and 27 responses from individuals. It is not our practice to identify those organisations or individuals who respond to consultation exercises.
