HC Deb 14 July 1999 vol 335 c193W
Judy Mallaber

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions when he expects to publish the report commissioned by his Department on voluntary and community transport. [91548]

Ms Glenda Jackson

The report is being published today and copies of both the summary and full report will be placed in the Library of the House.

The report contains a wide range of detailed information about the valuable role of voluntary and community transport operators and I very much welcome it as a focus for debate by all those involved in the funding and operation of this important area of transport.

We will be circulating the report to all stakeholders in this area and inviting comment from them on its findings and recommendations.
