THE GOVERNMENT has no intention of introducing a natio scheme of concessionary fares at present.
Stating this in the Commons, Kenneth Clarke, Parliament; Secretary for Transport, added that it was for individual lo authorities to decide what concessions they wished to prov within the resources available to them.
He hoped they would continue to work together to remt anomalies wherever possible.
Hal Miller (Tory, Bromsgrove and Redditch) told him tha was the local authorities which created the anomalies, a asked Mr Clarke to consider the matter again, Mr Clarke told him that with our system of local governm4 it was inevitable that various local authorities would sometin take different decisions.
