Lord Callanan
I agree with the first part of my noble friend’s remarks but disagree with the second part.
Lord Dholakia (LD)
My Lords, is the Minister aware that London Councils has been negotiating on behalf of the London boroughs to address the impact of the Southern Rail disputes and their implications for the Freedom Pass, which the boroughs contribute to? No information is available about how London councils are to be reimbursed and when the decision will be made. What action is the state taking to ensure that ratepayers are not short-changed? I declare an interest as a Freedom Pass holder.
Lord Callanan
I am afraid that I have no information on the subject; I will write to the noble Lord about it.
