Free Nationwide Bus Travel For Pensioners (EDM753)

Free Nationwide Bus Travel For Pensioners

EDM number 753 in 2001-02, proposed by Lynne Jones on 29/01/2002.

That this House welcomes the introduction of the minimum half-price concessionary fare scheme for bus travel in 2001 but recognises the anomalies that a district by district scheme creates; acknowledges that by the end of 2002 Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales will all have free bus travel for older people; expresses concern at the potential for a postcode lottery in bus travel if England does not introduce similar measures; and supports the National Pensioners' Convention in their call for the Government to introduce a free nationwide bus travel scheme this year for all pensioners as one of the best ways to ensure independence and mobility in later life.

This motion has been signed by a total of 124 MPs.
