§ Mr. BowdenTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received from Age Concern as part of its 1994 annual campaign on transport and mobility; what other representations he has received; and what action his Department has taken to implement the recommendations of the campaigns.
§ Mr. NorrisThe Department has worked closely with Age Concern at national and regional level throughout the year. Ministers and officials have taken part in Age Concern conferences. These have provided an opportunity to hear at first hand the concerns of older people and to work with them in developing appropriate solutions.
We will continue to give priority to meeting the needs of older people as public transport users, pedestrians and motorists.
