Identity Cards

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to substitute identity cards for older people’s bus passes.
Answer

My Lords, there are no current plans to substitute identity cards for bus passes for the over-60s. However, an identity card is a convenient proof of age, and could be used by holders to prove that they qualify for age-related services, such as when they apply for a bus pass.
