question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will extend the English national concessionary travel scheme for disabled people beyond off-peak times.
tabling member constituency	Bath
tabling member printed	Ben Howlett
uin	35497
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/05/2016 answer text <p>Whilst I appreciate that concessionary pass holders might wish to use buses before 9.30am, there are no plans to extend the statutory scheme to include morning peak time travel. Local authorities already have powers to introduce “discretionary concessions” building on the minimum national standard. Authorities can, for instance, enable some disabled pass holders to use services during peak hours, to use modes of transport other than buses or to travel with a companion free of charge. Such enhancements are however, entirely a matter for the respective authorities and are funded locally. It follows that any decision on whether to create such enhancements is a matter for the authority concerned.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 05/05/2016 13:23:25 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
