§ Mrs. Anne CampbellTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what was the average value per user of concessionary bus fares schemes for the elderly provided by each district council in Cambridgeshire in each year since 1984.
§ Mr. FreemanI have been asked to reply.
Information on concessionary fare schemes for the elderly is not available.
Expenditure each year on concessionary fares schemes in total by Cambridgeshire county council and each district council in Cambridgeshire is shown in the table. The figures, supplied by local authorities, include expenditure on concessions for the elderly, disabled, blind and young people. The Department does not have information on the number of users of the concessionary fares schemes.
