HC Deb 13 November 1989 vol 160 cc75-6W 75W

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will take steps to ensure that London Regional Transport is discharging its duties to consult London borough councils over changes to bus routes.
76W

§ Mr. Portillo
Where London Regional Transport proposes to vary an existing bus service it is required by the Transport Act 1985 to consult the local authorities affected as well as the police, the London regional passengers committee and any other person it thinks fit. I have no evidence of LRT failing to comply with this requirement.
