Closed Make the companion bus pass scheme a national statutory requirement.

Closed on

The scheme is currently a discretionary entitlement which varies from county to county. I would like it to become a statutory requirement across the country.

The scheme allows for people with disabilities that cannot travel alone to take a companion with them free of charge.

It is unfair that this is only available in parts of the country due to it being discretionary. Travelling with a companion will help people with disabilities use public transport.
