HC Deb 10 February 1982 vol 17 c397W
25. Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will seek to legislate to remove responsibility for London Transport from the Greater London Council.

Mr. David Howell

The Select Committee on Transport is considering the arrangements for transport in London and I shall consider any recommendations it makes very carefully. In the meantime the first priority is for the GLC to put the finances of London's transport system back on to a stable basis. If it failed to do so I should have to consider what further action was needed.
