HC Deb 01 December 1982 vol 33 c193W
12. Mr. Stallard

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will now introduce a national concessionary fares scheme for pensioners; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eyre

Concessionary fare schemes are for individual local authorities to decide in the context of the resources they have available and their judgment of the most effective way of meeting the needs of old people in the circumstances of their local area.
