HC Deb 06 January 2004 vol 416 c215W
12. Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the role of his Department in the dissemination of best practice on bus services.[145876]

Mr. McNulty

The Department for Transport plays an active role in disseminating good practice in the bus sector, both alone and in partnership with other stakeholders in the industry and local authorities. Recent examples include a "Good Practice Guide on rural bus service provision" and revised guidance on "Protecting Bus and Coach Crews".
