HC Deb 29 February 1988 vol 128 c405W
Sir David Price

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether, in the light of recent United Kingdom and European Community legislation forbidding sex discrimination, he will make an order under section 93(7)(f) of the Transport Act 1985 that would empower local authorities to grant travel concessions to men and women on a non-discriminatory basis.

Mr. David Mitchell

My right hon. Friend has no plans to change the categories of persons eligible to receive travel concessions under the powers conferred on him by section 93(7)(f) of the Transport Act 1985.
