HC Deb 15 March 2004 vol 419 c11W
Mr. Hoyle

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many rural bus services in Chorley are funded by rural bus grants. [161533]

Mr. McNulty

Rural Bus Subsidy Grant (RBSG) is paid to local transport authorities. In the case of Chorley this is Lancashire county council. It is for the authority to decide which services should be supported with the grant. We understand from the county council that four rural bus services in Chorley are currently supported by RBSG.
