HC Deb 27 October 1965 vol 718 c59W
50. Mr. Barnett

asked the Minister of Transport if he will take steps to help those local authorities which have not been able to assist their elderly people with concessionary bus fares, because of there being more than one transport authority and in certain cases private transport undertakings, running bus services in the area.

Mr. Swingler

Local authorities can arrange for travel concessions on their own transport undertakings and on those of other local authorities. These arrangements have not been extended to cover company undertakings for the reasons which were explained during the passage of the Travel Concessions Act, 1964.
