answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>Restoring the previous age of eligibility for concessionary bus travel to sixty would re-create the anomaly of some non-disabled people of working-age, some of whom may be on significant wages, being entitled to a free bus pass, which was not the original intention of the national bus concessionary scheme. Re-establishing the link between concessionary bus pass eligibility and the state pension age addresses that issue and will also help the financial sustainability of the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities have the discretion to offer concessionary travel to those who are yet to reach the qualifying age, such as have been introduced in London and Liverpool.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 18/12/2018 09:38:46 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
