§ 70. Mr. Hugh Jenkinsasked the Minister of Transport if he will give a direction to London Transport that bus services shall not be discontinued without consultation with the London boroughs.
Mr. Bob BrownNo. The policy responsibility for London Transport will pass on 1st January, 1970, to the Greater London Council, and it would be 59W inappropriate for my right hon. Friend to consider giving such a direction at this stage. I am sure that the council and the new executive will have the question of consultation well in mind.
