Question
What action is the Welsh Government taking to provide free access to public transport for refugees and asylum seekers?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice and Equality (Sioned Williams)
The Welsh Government is committed to improving access to public transport and continues to consider how best to support refugees and asylum seekers. Some individuals may already be able to access existing discretionary travel schemes where they meet the eligibility criteria. We will continue to work with partners to understand barriers to travel and to explore options that support inclusion and access to services.
