Clause 18
Greater London Authority Bill

I think that by an oversight the hon. Gentleman has failed to mention the offer of free fares to under-18s, which has been of huge value, particularly to the lowest-income households in London. I know that there has been some controversy on that issue among his fellows in the London assembly, but will he commit his Front Bench to the retention of free transport for under-18s? In the general context of his comments on fares, is he making a Front-Bench commitment for a significant increase in central Government support?
