HC Deb 12 November 1984 vol 67 c114W
Mr. Heffer

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the impact on transport fares on Merseyside of Her Majesty's Government's plans to abolish the Merseyside county council.

Mr. David Mitchell

Abolition of the metropolitan counties will not, of itself, affect the level of fares in the metropolitan areas.
