HC Deb 31 October 1994 vol 248 cc962-3W
Mr. Austin-Walker

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what evaluation he has made of the effects of bus deregulation outside London; and what plans he has to introduce deregulation in London.

Mr. Norris

Bus deregulation outside London has resulted in more operators running more bus miles at lower cost than previously. While bus deregulation remains our long-term aim for London, we do not intend to bring forward legislation in the life of this Parliament.
