HC Deb 13 May 1964 vol 695 cc68-9W
53. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Transport how many public road transport undertakings grant concessionary fares to retirement pensioners or other categories of passengers; and how many orgainsations or local authorities have made representations to him on this matter.

Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallett

Of the 97 local authority transport under-takings, 34 give concessionary fares to retirement pensioners. Comprehensive information about other undertakings, and other concessionary fares, is not readily available. Concessionary fares cover a very wide range. We keep no record of the number of representations received about them.
