NATIONAL EXPRESS GRANT FOR PENSIONERS AND THE DISABLED

That this House recognises the importance to pensioners and the disabled that the National Express concession scheme is maintained during these tough economic conditions; is concerned by the Government's withdrawal of the grant offered to operating companies; further recognises the benefits in terms of independence of giving the disabled and those aged 60 years and over a concession for travel; and encourages the Government to continue to support this scheme from which three million people have benefited so far.
