HC Deb 04 November 1970 vol 805 c360W
76. Mr. Tom King

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, in view of the likely withdrawal of many country buses in the near future, when additional postal minibus services are to be introduced.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

Yes. I am ready to consider with the Post Office, proposals for additional mail bus services wherever there is scope.

I am also conducting pilot studies in Devon and West Suffolk to see what other initiatives the Government can take in this field.
