§ Mr. Jim Cunningham (Coventry, South)With your permission, Mr. Speaker, I will take my two petitions separately.
618 It is probably well known, certainly in the House, that the Coventry British Pensioners and Trade Unions Action Association has campaigned for a number of years for the restoration of the pensions link and the extension of free bus travel.
To the House of Commons,
The petition of the British Pensioners' and Trade Unions Action Association, Coventry Branch
Declares that pensioners benefit from free bus and travel in Kingdom of Eire, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales; that there should be parity for pensioners in England.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons in this Parliament enacts legislation to introduce a free national travel pass scheme for pensioners in England.
§ And the Petitioners remain, etc.
§ To lie upon the Table.
