HC Deb 23 May 1989 vol 153 cc503-4W
Mr. Hanley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the Government contribution to dial-a-ride for each year available to date.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Grants made by London Regional Transport to London dial-a-ride services are as follows:

Year Grant £ million
1986–87 5.0
1987–88 6.0
1988–89 6.27
1989–90 7.27

The grant for 1989–90 is over 40 per cent. higher in real terms than the grant of £4.2 million provided by the G LC in 1985–86 (the last year it funded these services).
