How much does it cost to administer free TV licences to people like her etc - what's the point in issueing bus passes that arn't used - isn't it a waste of plastic and postage etc.

Was thinking about this the other day.. Janet Street Porter was saying she did'nt need or use her bus pass.. if she don't use it then it's only the price of a stamp to the government... but if we start means testing everyone of pensionable age as to wether they need a bus pass it would cost millions in staff hours, paper work and postage.
