Local Transport Bill [HL]

How does the noble Lord think that the Government might keep this issue under review? It seems to me that we have a situation where some pensioners are quite wealthy—many are not, but some are—and yet they get free bus travel and can travel the length and breadth of the country. Good luck to them. It seems extraordinary that there are other vulnerable groups who cannot even travel across the same town. It is important that we keep this under review, particularly in the case of such a group, which does not have the benefit of a loud voice. The fact that the concessionary fare scheme for pensioners was announced just before the last election probably says it all.
