Students to get free London travel - Paddick
BRIAN Paddick today promised free transport to every student in full time higher education or vocational training in London.
The Liberal Democrats candidate for the next Mayor of London said: "London has one of the biggest gaps in the UK between the haves and the have nots.
"The way up the social ladder is education.
"The one thing the Mayor has absolute power over is free travel and as Mayor, I will use it absolutely.
"We live in one of the most expensive cities in the world.
"I am determined to alleviate that cost of living and to help people better their lives by allowing every person in full time higher education or skills training to have access to free travel."
There are nine other candidates vying to be Mayor of London at the election on May 1.
The candidates are (in alphabetical order):
Richard Barnbrook - British National Party
Gerard Batten - UK Independence Party
Sian Berry - Green Party
Alan Craig - Christian Peoples Alliance and Christian Party
Lindsey German - Left List
Ken Livingstone - Labour Party
Winston McKenzie - Independent
Matt O'Connor - English Democrats
Boris Johnson - Conservatives
