§ Mr. Watkinsonasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether the promised guide to rural communities on the opportunities provided by the Transport Act 1978 is now available.
§ Mr. Horam:Yes, I am pleased to be able to inform my hon. Friend that my Department's "Guide to Community 154W Transport" has been published today by Her Majesty's Stationery Office. The guide offers a great deal of practical guidance to rural communities who are served by little or no public transport and who want to take some initiative themselves. While it concentrates on the organisation of community bus and social car schemes, it also deals with other possibilities such as post and school buses.
