Plans To Scrap Free Travel For Oaps

EDM number 290 in 2002-03, proposed by Paul Burstow on 05/12/2002.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
