§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) what initiatives his Department is pursuing to increase the use of public transport in Wales, and if he will make a statement;
(2) what new initiatives his Department is pursuing to improve public transport in Wales; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesThe provision of good quality public transport services is a matter for the transport industries. County councils have a duty to supplement services where they identify a need. The Welsh Office assists by means of the bus priority scheme. Privatisation of the railways will provide more opportunities for improvements in that sector.
