§ Mr. David Mitchellasked the Minister of Transport if she will list in the OFFICIAL REPORT all the local authorities which will fall within the proposed Passenger Transport Authority areas.
§ Mr. CarmichaelThis has not yet been decided. The Transport Bill provides that the area of a Passenger Transport Authority must be a matter for consultation by the Minister with the local authorities concerned. The views of bus operators and British Railways will also be taken into account before an area is designated.
