HC Deb 19 April 1978 vol 948 c193W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has made to Derbyshire County Council to provide concessionary bus fares for the elderly.

Mr. Horam

Department of Transport circular 2/78, issued in January, was addressed to all county and district councils in England and Wales. It advocates a half-fare concession as the minimum national standard at which local authorities should aim.
