Mr. Ridsdale
asked the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate he has made of the amount by which bus fares will increase in rural areas due to the proposed change in motor taxation.
Mr. Horam
I do not expect any increase in stage fares. The changes relate only to petrol vehicles and measures will be taken to ensure that operators of stage carriage services will not be adversely affected.
