HC Deb 12 December 1986 vol 107 c275W
Mr. Eastham

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will give guidance to passenger transport authorities on the provision of public transport after 8 pm on Christmas eve and new year's day, in the light of his campaign against drinking and driving.

Mr. David Mitchell

This is a matter for the judgment of individual authorities in the light of local circumstances. It is certainly open to them to decide that the provision of services during the Christmas and new year period should be given priority.
