That this House applauds the two-thirds of English local authorities which issue, to each disabled person who cannot travel without a companion, a bus pass enabling both to travel free of charge; notes that a free bus pass for someone who cannot travel alone is of little practical value unless it covers a companion; and calls upon the Government to include free companion bus travel for disabled people who cannot travel alone within the statutory obligations on local authorities under the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme.
