HC Deb 05 March 2001 vol 364 c60W
Mr. Nicholls

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to extend concessionary travel fares to students. [152121]

Mr. Hill

Travel concessions are primarily a matter for local authorities. They already have powers to provide discounted fares for young people under 19 years of age who are in full-time education.
