§ Mr. Charles WardleTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether he intends to take measures to restrain the expenditure of the passenger transport authorities in 1989–90.
§ Mr. ChannonIn the circumstances I do not consider it appropriate to designate the passenger transport authorities for precept limitation in 1989–90. I expect the PTAs, however, to be able to maintain satisfactory public transport support in that year at close to their present levels of expenditure.
