HC Deb 27 January 1982 vol 16 cc361-2W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Employment, in view of the high costs of urban transport, if he will seek to introduce a scheme for unemployed young people to travel at concessionary fares.

Mr. Alison

Policy on concessionary fares is primarily a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Transport. However, unemployed job seekers can, in certain cases, be given help with fares to travel longer distances to interviews through the Manpower Services Commission's job search scheme or supplementary benefit.
