Travel: Concessions
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of introducing a national freedom pass for pensioners to utilise public transport across the United Kingdom.
- Answer
-
Concessionary travel is a devolved policy area so the administrative arrangements in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland differ from those in England. The Concessionary Bus Travel Act 2007 does include a power to allow for mutual recognition of concessionary bus passes across the UK through regulations in the future, however there are no plans at present to introduce such an arrangement.
