Proceeding contribution from Lord Jenkin of Roding (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Concessionary Bus Travel Act 2007 (Variation of Reimbursement and Other Administrative Arrangements) Order 2010.


Concessionary Bus Travel Act 2007 (Variation of Reimbursement and Other Administrative Arrangements) Order 2010

My Lords, I had not intended to intervene in the debate until I heard the noble Lord. I declare an interest as a holder of both a senior railcard and a concessionary pass that in London is called the Freedom Pass. This is free: on it is written, ""paid for by your local council"." The senior railcard costs me £26. Does the noble Lord propose to cancel the £26 payment, to charge for the Freedom Pass, or to have two different regimes?
