HC Deb 28 January 1982 vol 16 cc440-1W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if, in view of the wide anomalies in the various concessionary fares schemes for the elderly and disabled, he will reconsider the introduction of a national scheme.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

No. In my view, individual authorities are in the best position to decide what provision should be made in the light of their knowledge of the most effective ways of helping elderly and disabled people in their areas and of the resources available.
