HC Deb 06 December 1976 vol 922 cc85-6W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he intends to introduce concessionary bus fares to retirement pensioners; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Carter

A limited scheme of concessionary fares for the elderly is already operated by Citybus, though no similar concessions are available from Ulsterbus. I regret that in present circumstances we cannot contemplate introducing any new scheme.
