37. Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how many applications have been made to the South Wales Licensing Authority, since July, 1955, for the reduction of omnibus services in rural districts; how many have been allowed; and how many services have been cancelled.

Mr. Molson

Applications were made to reduce twenty-six services to a greater or lesser degree and all were granted. Sixteen services were withdrawn. At the same time ten new services have been authorised and seven services have been improved in one way or another.
