§ Mr. HainThe Welsh Office received a large number of responses from individuals, local authorities and interested organisations on a wide range of transport issues affecting rural Wales as part of the consultation exercise last year on the development of an integrated transport policy. These responses have been taken into account in the preparation of a UK wide White Paper on integrated transport, which will be published shortly. At around the same time, a Welsh Transport Policy Statement will be published drawing out those issues of particular relevance and importance to Wales.
