HC Deb 03 April 1980 vol 982 cc331-2W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Minister of Transport what representations he has received, and from what bodies, requesting that the bus support grant be paid direct from central Government to the bus operators; if he will be introducing legislation to implement such a proposal; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Fowler

New bus grant and fuel duty rebate are already paid by central Government direct to bus operators.

I have received no recent representations on this subject of the kind suggested by the hon. Member.
