Mr. Fraser

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if his Department will give assistance to the London Regional Transport Authority to encourage an expanded use of the London Dial-a-Ride service in order to provide at least one trip a week for disabled people.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

I explained the Government's position in the Adjournment debate on transport for people with disabilities on 12 November at columns 676–80. As to funding for next year, I refer to the reply given by my hon. Friend the Minister of State to my hon. Friend the Member for Ealing, Acton (Sir G. Young) on 17 November.
