To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Attlee on 16 November (WA 199), whether they regard the Association of Train Operating Companies senior railcard as a marketing strategy rather than a concession.

The Senior Railcard is a concession because it allows holders to obtain discounted fares. However, it also generates revenue for the rail industry.
