HC Deb 02 July 1975 vol 894 c480W
51. Mr. Raphael Tuck

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on recent progress in his discussions with local authorities about rural transport services.

Mr. Carmichael

We now have a clearer picture of the rural transport problems which face local authorities in exercising their new functions in relation to public transport. There is no single answer, and we have to develop a range of possible solutions which can be applied according to circumstances in particular areas.
