Proceeding contribution from Douglas Alexander (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [Lords].


Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [Lords]

As ever, my hon. Friend speaks with wisdom. It is a matter on which I have been reflecting even in relation to the design of the concessionary travel card, because it is important to acknowledge the scale of the contribution being made by Her Majesty’s Government to the financing of the national concessionary travel scheme, rather than to leave the impression that it is solely for local authorities.
