Schedule 2
Concessionary Bus Travel Bill
4:45 pm
Paul Rowen (Shadow Minister, Transport; Rochdale, Liberal Democrat)
I thank the Minister for the amendment. I know that my noble Friend Lord Bradshaw attempted to extend the period to 56 days. The amendment tidies up his amendment and will allow, as the Minister says, proper data to be available from which decisions can be made. The point was made in the other place that 28 days was insufficient time, and I welcome the fact that the Minister has agreed to that.
