HC Deb 18 December 1974 vol 883 c443W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has considered the desirability of extending the use of school buses and Post Office vehicles to improve transport facilities in the rural areas; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Carmichael

Such services are already successfully so used in some areas and the Government welcome this. I hope that county councils will take the possibility of their future development fully into account as part of their responsibilities under Section 203 of the Local Government Act 1972.
