Proceeding contribution from Eric Martlew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 July 2008. It occurred during Estimates day on Public Transport.
Public Transport
The hon. Gentleman is drawing me into this; I did not want that to happen. The reality is that the Conservative party in Carlisle said that it would cut the hours of the scheme to after 9.30 am, then changed it and said that the disabled could travel all the time, and then, three days before the local elections, found extra money to say that everybody could travel all the time. The idea that it had a shortage of money is absolute nonsense.
