Proceeding contribution from Stephen Hammond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [Lords].
Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [Lords]
My hon. Friend is correct. As I pointed out earlier, there is huge concern among local authorities about both the previous scheme and the possible impact of this scheme. The Minister will say that local authorities have discretion to provide extra services above the statutory minimum, but, again, that costs. If the funding formula is not correct, the discretion is, to all intents and purposes, worthless.
