FUNDING REDUCTION FOR CONCESSIONARY TRANSPORT IN SCOTLAND

That this House condemns the decision of the Scottish National Party (SNP) in Scotland to cut ??10 million in real terms from the free buses transport budget for senior citizens, disabled people and those aged over 60 years; notes that this comes on top of the 10 per cent. increase forced by the SNP in Edinburgh and elsewhere on fares, due to its failure to pass on the Treasury's fuel duty payments; deplores any attempt to restrict the bus pass to those aged over 65 years; further notes that, yet again, the SNP is adopting an anti-environmental policy and undermining bus use in Scotland; and calls on the SNP to reverse this decision.
