Proceeding contribution from Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Transport Bill [HL].


Local Transport Bill [HL]

My Lords, when the Minister replies, I would like him to reflect as to whether the amendment will undermine certain commercially provided services. Local authorities have, since the Transport Act 1985, given considerable assistance to disabled people who are suffering from illness and it is within the scope of their powers to help people in full-time education. I would like to know if that is additional to what is available now or whether it is another attempt by certain people to get in on providing services that are available in the market.
