§ Mr. SpearingTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government towards maintaining the current pattern of travel concessions to pensioners in Greater London, other than any variants of time limits not exceeding half an hour.
§ Mr. PortilloTravel concessions organised by London Regional Transport are a matter for the London boroughs and the City of London which fund the scheme. If they do not agree on a uniform voluntary scheme by 1 January in any year, the London Regional Transport Act 1984 provides for automatic implementation of a reserve scheme for the ensuing financial year which guarantees free travel for elderly, blind and disabled London residents on all LRT services.
