HC Deb 13 December 1990 vol 182 cc500-1W
Mr. Harry Barnes

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what response he made to recommendations from the European Commission concerning travel concession cards for over-60s; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jack

The proposed European Commission over–60s card is intended to establish that a person over 60 has the opportunity to take advantage of a wide range of existing concessions throughout the Community, including transport. We are continuing to study the implications for the United Kingdom and will respond to the Commission in due course.
