HC Deb 10 March 1982 vol 19 c448W
29. Mr. Allen McKay

asked the Secretary of State for Transport, following his answers of 10 February, Official Report, columns 957–9, whether he has received any representations from local authorities other than the Greater London Council pressing him to introduce legislation to clarify the rights of such authorities to subsidise fares.

Mr. David Howell

No. The Association of Metropolitan Authorities has told me that it does not wish to see any change in the powers of the metropolitan counties.
