To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to ensure that all students are granted the same concessions in terms of travel discounts; and what representations he has received relating to this. [76747]

This is a matter for local authorities, under the statutory powers available to them. Bus operators and London Transport may also offer reduced fares for students if they think it appropriate. I receive correspondence on this topic from time to time, but have no plans to change the present arrangements.
