• The £96,000 set aside in the current financial year for contributions to local authorities paying rural bus grants is not likely to be required in full, it was said in the Commons last week.
Mr. Albert Murray, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport, who gave this forecast in the Commons, added that no contributions had been made from Government funds during the last financial year, and the figure for 1970-71 had not yet been settled. Mr. Fred Mulley, the Minister, noted that in 1968 subsidies paid by the Railways Board for bus services introduced as a condition of rail closures came to about £1 million.
Financial responsibility for these services were in process of being transferred from BR to the National Bus Company and the Scottish Transport Group. and it was for these bodies to decide how their various financial responsibilities could best be shared out among their subsidiaries.
