Earl Attlee
My Lords, unfortunately that is a matter for the Mayor of London.
Lord Stoddart of Swindon
My Lords, I hope the noble Earl will take due note about what the noble Lord, Lord Davies, has said about pensioners’ bus passes. If they are removed—and I sincerely hope that the Government have no plans to do so, since I have a personal interest in the matter—the bus services would decline very seriously in this country.
Earl Attlee
My Lords, I can assure the noble Lord that there is no intention to remove the old-age bus pass.
