Proceeding contribution from Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 29 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [HL].


Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [HL]

My Lords, I point out that while the Minister tells us that expenditure in Essex is very large and that the authority spends £75 million, many transport authorities on whom the Bill will bear heavily are very small, with overall budgets a good deal less than Essex’s transport budget. He must understand the pain being suffered by those authorities. I hope that he can say something a bit more encouraging.
