§ Mr. Illsleyasked the Secretary of State for Transport whether the Government have any proposals to increase funding to either Barnsley metropolitan district council or the South Yorkshire residual body to expand dial-a-ride services.
§ Mr. TrippierI have been asked to reply.
The Barnsley dial-a-ride service is part of the Barnsley community transport co-ordination scheme which is currently given financial support by the Government under the 1987–88 Barnsley inner area programme. Implementation is a matter for the Barnsley metropolitan district council.
