Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make it his policy to seek funding from the Treasury for public travel passes to be issued to family carers; and if he will make a statement.
We are working with the sector to encourage operators to continue to improve their concessionary travel offers.
Local authorities have the power to offer additional local concessions and are best placed to make decisions that more closely match their needs and circumstances.
