Concessionary Bus Travel Bill [Lords]

I thank my hon. Friend and constituency neighbour for allowing me to intervene. The lady whom he mentioned, Mrs. Joan Grant, told me and her colleagues that many of their members work in charities right across London and travel considerable distances with their freedom pass so the pass is of value not just to themselves, but to the organisations they serve. If they are able to travel into Essex as well, other charities and organisations will benefit.
