Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [Lords]

My hon. Friend is detailing one problem with the current use of the revenue support grant, but are there not two further ones? It also depends on the money being passported from districts through to passenger transport authorities in areas such as my hon. Friend’s and mine, while it does nothing to help when some authorities—I understand including the Isles of Scilly—get some cash under the system even though they do not have any buses.
