PLANS TO SCRAP FREE TRAVEL FOR OAPs

Early day motion 290, tabled 5 December 2002 by Paul Burstow (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 46 members.

That this House notes with concern that the Government's Commission for Integrated Transport has recommended that free bus passes for pensioners should be abolished; believes that the Freedom Pass and similar concessionary fares schemes elsewhere in the country provide an essential life-line for older people; and calls on the Government to reject the Commission's recommendation.
