HC Deb 01 May 1986 vol 96 c479W
Mr. Pike

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what percentage of (a) current Sunday bus services and (b) current bus services after 6 pm on weekdays have been registered in England.

Mr. David Mitchell

This information is not readily available. At this stage only commercially viable services have been registered by operators. To these will be added the services to be provided under contract to local authorities and to passenger transport executives, for which substantial amounts of money are available.

The area studies to be undertaken by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory will cover Sunday and evening services.
