Clause 2 - Commencement and transitional provision
Travel Concessions (Eligibility) Bill [Lords]

Mr John Spellar (Minister of State (Transport), Department for Transport; Warley, Labour)
On the question of implementation, the arrangements for London are different because of the different provisions of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 compared with other local authority legislation. We would obviously aim for a common date for the implementation of the scheme. As we said, that would be in 2003 at the latest.
