HC Deb 14 October 1996 vol 282 c681W
Mr. Spellar

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement regarding the future of Routemaster buses. [40300]

Mr. Bowis

As long as Routemaster buses remain mechanically sound and meet the appropriate standards which apply to all public service vehicles, there is no reason why operators should not continue to keep them in service.
