HC Deb 25 May 1989 vol 153 cc687-8W
Mr. Gordon Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish in theOfficial Report a list of the English districts outside London that do not have a system of concessionary bus fares for those of state pensionable age.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The Department of Transport conducted a survey of all local authorities outside London in autumn 1986 to discover the details of concessionary fares schemes operating at that time. The results showed that there was no travel concessionary scheme for elderly people in the following 28 districts. We have no more recent information. It is possible that schemes may now operate in some of these areas.
