§ Mr. Gardnerasked the Minister of Transport if he will take steps by legislation or otherwise to ensure that those affected have adequate opportunities to object to withdrawals of bus services 124W before the Traffic Commissioners make their final decisions on applications from the operators.
Mr. Bob BrownExisting regulations provide for bus licensing proposals, including proposals to reduce services, to be circulated in advance to those local authorities who have statutory rights to make representations to the Commissioners on behalf of the people of the district. We believe these procedures are generally adequate.
