Baroness Vere of Norbiton
The noble Lord is right that that is one proposal on the table. It is not set in stone that it will indeed be allowed to happen, but it is important that we make sure that people feel able to take up electric vehicles. They are very important to our future carbon strategy, and of course we are looking at the impact on buses.
Lord Tebbit (Con)
Is my noble friend aware of the problems that are sometimes faced by rather old-fashioned people seeking to take a journey by bus who want to proffer their fare in money—cash?
Baroness Vere of Norbiton
I thank my noble friend for his question. I am aware that that may be an issue for an increasingly small number of people.
