Public Transport (Rural Areas)

HC Deb 13 April 1960 vol 621 cc128-9W

Mr. Speir

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the problems of public transport facilities in the rural areas are becoming increasingly acute; and when he anticipates it will be possible to introduce measures designed to ease these problems.

Mr. Marples

The Committee on Rural Bus Services is examining the problems of rural transport. I think we must await its report.
