HC Deb 03 August 1972 vol 842 c190W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment in how many cases the power given to traffic commissioners under the Transport Act, 1968, to prevent wasteful competition by fixing minimum fares has been cited as the reason for the withdrawal of applications to provide services not at present provided.

Mr. Peyton

Applicants are not required to give reasons for withdrawal and do not normally do so.
