HC Deb 29 October 1979 vol 972 c421W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Minister of Transport if he has plans for the relaxation of road traffic regulations in respect of public transport; when the scheme will commence; what areas have been specified for pilot experiment and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Fowler

Yes. I shall shortly be introducing legislation to reform the bus licensing system. That legislation will include power to designate trial areas within which road service licensing will no longer apply.
