HC Deb 27 October 1954 vol 531 cc267-8W
67. Mr. J. Silverman

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will introduce legislation to empower local authorities to provide free travel for old people on their transport undertakings.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

I understand that the decision in the case of Prescott v. Birmingham Corporation, in which this issue is raised, is likely to be taken to appeal and, in these circumstances, I think I must await the result of such appeal.
