HC Deb 23 May 1979 vol 967 cc136-7W
32. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Transport when he hopes to announce proposals for a uniform system of concessionary bus fares.

Mr. Fowler

As I said in answer to a question by hon. Member for New-castle-under-Lyme (Mr. Golding) on 18 May. I have no present intention of introducing a nationwide scheme.—[Vol. 967, c.10.] But I shall be examining whether the variety of schemes operated by local authorities at their own discretion is creating avoidable difficulties. I shall be having consultations on this.
