asked the Minister of Transport what representations he has now received from local authorities requesting legislation to be introduced to permit them to make some financial contribution to non-local authority transport undertakers in consideration of travel concessions being granted to special classes of persons, particularly old-age pensioners; and if he will make a statement.

I have received a number of such representations, but I cannot add to the Answer given to my hon. Friend the Member for Heywood and Royton (Mr. Barnett) on 27th October.
