§ Mr. Tapsellasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he is satisfied that old people without pension books are not denied benefits available to pensioners, such as reduced bus fares and cinema ticket concessions; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. SwinglerI am not aware of any general difficulty in this field. The evidence required for the very different kinds of concessions which are offered, some of them of a purely commercial character, is of course, entirely a matter for those who operate them.
