| Annotation | In his Budget statement on 16 March 2005, Gordon Brown, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that the government would introduce free concessionary travel on local bus services for older and disabled people in England from April 2006. This briefing clarifies the terms of that announcement, outlines the general position with regard to free travel throughout the UK, and states the Convention's policy recommendations for further action.
