§ Mr. HarveyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will establish a national travel card allowing pensioners to travel at concessionary rates on different forms of public transport without having to make arrangements with separate local or transport authorities.
§ Mr. FreemanWe have no plans to change the present arrangements for travel by pensioners on local bus services. Both British Rail and long-distance coach operators have their own commercial travel concessions for elderly people.
