HC Deb 09 March 1977 vol 927 c569W
29. Mr. David Watkins

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he next expects to meet the Chairman of the National Bus Company to discuss fares and services.

Mr. William Rodgers

In the normal course of events I would expect to see the chairman fairly shortly, but I do not yet know what we shall discuss.

Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what has been the average percentage increase since January 1975 in bus fares for schoolchildren travelling to and from school, and who are not entitled to bus passes, in each of the main areas covered by the National Bus Company.

Mr. Horam

I am afraid that the information is not immediately available and could be obtained only at excessive cost.
