HC Deb 25 March 1969 vol 780 c235W
2. Mr. John Lee

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what guidance he has given to local authorities about the application of cuts in expenditure on official transport.

Mr. Skeffington

No specific guidance has been given about expenditure on official transport but the Report on the Rate Support Grant Order, 1968, expressed the Government's hopes that local authorities would examine rigorously the possibility of savings on general administration costs.
