§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Transport how many local authorities have used their power under the Transport Act 1985 to require all bus 212W operators to participate in a uniform scheme of concessionary fares from deregulation day; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. David MitchellThis information is not available. The Act is designed to encourage voluntary agreements between authorities and operators, thus making it possible to establish a uniform concessionary fare scheme without resort to compulsory powers.
