HC Deb 21 January 1994 vol 235 cc854-5W
Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish a full list of all organisations to which his Department sent, and from which his Department has received responses, regarding the consultation paper on a bus strategy for London, together with the addresses of each such organisation.

Mr. Norris

[holding answer 18 January 1994]: In 1991 my Department issued some 2,500 copies of the consultation paper to: all London Members of Parliament; London local authorities; bus companies; trade unions; organisations representing business, freight transport operators, consumers, motorists, the disabled, public transport users; and individuals. We received 156 responses from organisations, and 49 responses from individuals. The consultation paper indicated that responses would be treated as public unless marked "confidential", and a list of those who had responded was deposited in the Library in July 1991.
