HC Deb 22 March 1979 vol 964 c690W
Mr. Newton

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what he estimates would be the additional cost of extending the travel concessions suggested in his recent Green Paper on concessionary fares to travel at any time of day.

Mr. William Rodgers

Very roughly £25 million, but this estimate makes no allowance for the additional operating costs which could result from heavier traffic at peak hours.
