§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Transport what response he gave at the recent meeting he had with the delegation of the National Bus Company to the concern expressed over threats to jobs.
§ Mr. David MitchellMy right hon. Friend has had no such meeting. Our policy will give bus operators a greater incentive to provide the transport which customers want by improving existing services and developing new ones. Growth in new services will create additional jobs.
