tabling member constituency	Salford and Eccles
tabling member printed	Rebecca Long Bailey
uin	27059
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2024 answer text <p>The Department for Transport has made no such assessment. The English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS) provides free off-peak bus travel to those with eligible disabilities and those of state pension age, currently sixty-six, and was set up primarily to help older and disabled people. ENCTS costs around £1 billion annually and any changes to the minimum statutory scheme would need to be carefully considered for their impact on the scheme’s financial sustainability.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities in England have the power to go beyond their statutory obligations and extend free bus travel to other groups that are eligible under ENCTS, which includes children under the age of 16 and 16-18 year olds in full time education. However, these discretionary concessions are not funded by central government but by local authorities from local resources, such as council tax. Since 2010/11, almost all of the travel concession authorities in England have offered some form of discretionary concession. Bus operators are also able to provide discretionary concessions on a commercial basis.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 23/05/2024 13:34:29 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
