RURAL bus operators were in a jam. Costs had risen so rapidly that it was almost impossible to continue to operate rural services and many of them were going out of business, said Mr. Peter Mills (Tory, Torrington) in the Commons last week.
This was, he believed, the direct result of the increase in fuel taxation, said Mr. Mills, who was speaking during the debate on the cost of living.
Few speakers during the debate mentioned transport, though one who did was Mr. Anthony Barber, who opened for the Opposition.
