HC Deb 17 November 1978 vol 958 cc378-9W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will extend from 14 to 30 days the period within which objections may be submitted to applications by bus companies to vary services and fares published in notices and proceedings, in view of the impracticability of the present time limit.

Mr. William Rodgers

No. I believe that the present prescribed time limits strike the right balance between operational needs and the convenience of the public.
