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]
It is not for me to determine the budgetary allocations of every local authority in England. However, I can assure the hon. Gentleman that we believe that the additional resources—the £250 million of which I spoke—should be able to provide the supplemental service that the Bill facilitates. If he has concerns about his own local authority, I would strongly urge him to have those discussions in advance with the local authority and to impress upon it the fact that it also has a responsibility in terms of the budgetary choices that it makes.
