§ 59. Mr. Tom Coxasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the London borough councils with which he has discussed the future of the concessionary fares scheme.
§ Mrs. ChalkerI have had useful discussions with the London Boroughs Association which represents most of the London boroughs. I regret that so far I have not been able to get the views of seven boroughs — Brent, Greenwich, Hackney, Islington, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark—as they refuse to discuss a scheme for the benefit of over 250,000 pensioners who live in their areas.
