§ Mr. Peter Millsasked the Minister of Transport what application Devon General Bus Company has made to the Western Area Traffic Commissioners to cut certain bus services.
§ Mr. Tom FraserSince the beginning of this year, the company has applied to reduce twenty-two services, mainly on Sundays. Of the nineteen cases in which authority was granted, six involved withdrawal of all Sunday services and two withdrawal during the winter only; in the remaining eleven cases the frequency was reduced. The Traffic Commissioners have refused two applications, one for withdrawal and the other for reduced frequency. The remaining application, for the curtailment of a journey, has not yet been decided.
