Disabled Concession On The Skye Bridge

EDM number 1470 in 1994-95, proposed by Calum Macdonald on 17/10/1995.

That this House deplores the refusal by the Skye Bridge Company to offer concessions to disabled drivers displaying orange badges; notes that orange badge holders enjoyed a 50 per cent concession on the previous Caledonian MacBrayne ferry service; further notes that the Forth Road Bridge, Erskine Bridge, Tay Bridge and Severn Bridge give complete exemptions for orange badge holders; believes the Scottish Office is responsible for this mean spirited attitude on the Skye Bridge; and calls upon the Secretary of State to immediately grant disabled drivers the same concessions they enjoy on other bridges.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
