answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2022 answer text <p>Funding the concessionary bus pass costs around £1 billion annually and any changes would have an impact on the scheme’s financial sustainability.</p><p>In England, the age of eligibility for the concessionary bus pass is linked to the state pension age. This addresses the anomalous position of non-disabled, working age citizens receiving free bus buses, which in turn supports the financial sustainability of the scheme. There are no current plans to change the concessionary bus travel age of eligibility in England.</p><p>However, concessionary travel legislation gives local authorities the flexibility to offer local travel concessions, such as reducing the eligible age for a bus pass to 60.The additional concessions above the statutory minimum are not funded by central Government but by their own local resources.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 25/10/2022 12:05:07 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
