HC Deb 16 July 1975 vol 895 cc492-3W
Mr. Loveridge

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the Transport Road Research Laboratory expects to complete its survey into the various problems affecting the unreliability of bus services, including the current shortage of spare parts.

Mr. Carmichael

The extent and duration of the survey of the causes of bus unreliability will be determined by the results obtained from several local studies now in progress, which are expected to be completed by early 1976. The survey is concerned with all causes of unreliability.
