HC Deb 16 November 1966 vol 736 c115W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Minister of Transport how many bus services have ceased to function or have been curtailed in Wales since 1964; and how many new services have commenced.

Mrs. Castle

Between 1st January, 1964, and 31st October, 1966, 226 stage bus services were withdrawn in Wales and Monmouthshire and 117 new ones were introduced. Figures for curtailed services are not readily available and could not be provided except at disproportionate cost to public funds.
