HC Deb 23 March 1976 vol 908 c120W
Mr. Ovenden

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the total bus mileage scheduled for operation by the National Bus Company in 1974 and in 1975; and what mileages were actually operated.

Mr. Marks

Total stage carriage mileage scheduled for operation by the National Bus Company in 1974 was 609 million miles and in 1975 607 million miles. I understand that in both years 98 per cent, of scheduled mileage was operated.

Mr. Ovenden

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the bus mileage scheduled for operation and the mileage actually operated by the National Bus Company in the latest week for which figures are available; and what were the corresponding figures a year previously.

Mr. Marks

I understand that for the four-week period ending 25th January 1975, the National Bus Company scheduled 46 million miles for stage carriage operation and operated 98 per cent, of them. For the four-week period ended 31st January 1974 47 million miles were scheduled and 99 per cent, operated.
