Proceeding contribution from Peter Atkinson (Conservative) 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]
I want to reinforce my hon. Friend’s remarks about community transport. In my constituency I have one community, Kielder village—the most remote village in England—that depends entirely on a post bus to go south and a community bus to go shopping in Scotland. Without subsidy, that service is extremely vulnerable.
