HC Deb 16 June 1965 vol 714 c67W
49. Mr. Palmer

asked the Minister of Transport if he will take steps to extend the legislation permitting rate-aided concessionary fares to old-age pensioners on municipal transport services to include cases where the local authority is the principal shareholder in a company-run transport undertaking.

Mr. Tom Fraser

No. The arrangements for rate-aided travel concessions on municipal buses were not extended to company undertakings for the reasons which were explained during the passage of the Travel Concessions Act, 1964.
