Mr. Crawford

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in the Official Report a comparative table showing the amount given by way of concessionary bus fares to retirement pensioners by the counties and counties of cities in Scotland in 1974–75.

Mr. William Ross

In 1973–74, the last complete local authority year, expenditure by local authorities in Scotland on travel concessions is estimated to be about £4 million, including the following sums in respect of travel concessions to old people in the four cities: Glasgow £1,059,230; Edinburgh £624,345; Dundee £349,653; Aberdeen £285,000. Comparative figures by counties are not available.
