HC Deb 03 November 1986 vol 103 c342W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he plans to take steps to reduce the number of sightseeing double-decker buses on the streets of London.

Mr. David Mitchell

No. The licensing of London local services, including excursions and tours, is a matter for the Metropolitan traffic commissioner within the provisions of the Transport Act 1985.
