HC Deb 02 December 1985 vol 88 c109W
40. Mr. Welsh

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is his policy with regard to the contribution of central Government grants to local public transport; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. David Mitchell

I refer the hon. Member to my answer to the hon. Member for Stretford (Mr. Lloyd) earlier today. There is no difference between metroplitan and non-metropolitan areas in this respect.
