Proceeding contribution from Graham Stringer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 April 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Concessionary Bus Fares.
Concessionary Bus Fares
I am pleased to bring the issue of concessionary bus fares before hon. Members today. I believe that the proposals for free bus fares for elderly and disabled people have almost universal support. The Government are to be commended for introducing local free fares in 2006 and for extending the scheme nationwide from 2008. Someone given a pass in Newcastle will be able to use it on holiday in St. Ives. A pass that is given out anywhere in England will be valid anywhere in England, and I hope that at some future time the scheme will be extended to anywhere in the United Kingdom.
