§ Mr. Harry GreenwayTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what action he is taking to protect the London travelcard; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Norris[holding answer 24 May 1993]: The Government are promoting discussions with public transport operators in London on how best to develop the present travelcard to meet the future needs of passengers and operators. We intend, when we seek powers for bus deregulation in London, to give operators the right to participate on fair terms in multi-operator ticketing schemes.
