§ Mr. McMasterTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will meet Renfrew district elderly forum to discuss local government reform, water and sewerage services, concessionary travel schemes, standing charges on utilities and other topics of concern; and if he will make a statement. [28570]
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonMy right hon. Friend has no plans to meet Renfrew district elderly forum. He is, however, aware of its concerns, many of which have recently been raised with him or his Ministers by organisations that represent older people, including elderly forums. I met Strathclyde elderly forum in January to discuss concerns about concessionary travel schemes.
