HC Deb 06 June 1997 vol 295 c262W
Mrs. Brinton

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to give local authorities further powers and funding to develop sustainable transport packages. [2179]

Ms Glenda Jackson

We have no evidence that local authorities need additional powers to implement transport packages. The Government will continue to fund viable transport packages as far as resources permit.
