HC Deb 06 March 1984 vol 55 c557W
Mr. Fry

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the public financial support per thousand passenger kilometers in 1982–83 (a) for British Rail services and (b) for public road passenger transport.

Mr. David Mitchell

For British Rail the figure was about £32. Figures for the number of passenger kilometres on stage and express bus services are not available separately from those for all travel by bus and coach but the support per thousand passenger kilometres for all bus and coach travel in 1982–83 was about £22.
