§ Mr. WebbTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions, pursuant to his oral answer of 23 April 2002,Official Report, column 137, on community transport, by what means community transport groups in south Gloucestershire will have access to the longer term funding to which he referred. [52595]
§ Ms Keeble[holding answer 26 April 2002]: As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State said in his answer, we will carefully consider the general point of how far the benefits of three-year spending programmes can be extended to those bodies involved in community transport provision. More specifically, the position on funding for the south Gloucestershire projects currently supported under the Rural Bus Challenge scheme was described in my answers of Monday 4 February 2002, Official Report, column 743W, and Tuesday 29 January 2002, Official Report, column 202W.
