§ Mr. Andersonasked the Minister of Transport what steps he has taken to inform local authorities of the provisions of Section 138 of the Transport Act, 1968, which enables them to provide concessions for elderly people on non-municipal buses.
Mr. Bob BrownInformation about local authorities' powers under these pro-176W visions was sent to local authority associations in a circular of 29th January, 1969. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy. Local authorities are free to arrange these concessions on non-municipal bus services, if they wish to do so.
