Clause 11
Concessionary Bus Travel Bill
4:30 pm
Paul Rowen (Shadow Minister, Transport; Rochdale, Liberal Democrat)
No, I am not suggesting that. We discussed that earlier.
It is clear that the Isles of Scilly are a special case. There are no buses there. To access buses on the mainland, residents have to take the ferry. Given that it is the only mode of public transport available to them, and given that everything is funded by only 2,000 residents, I am asking for an exception to be made for them.
