What consideration has the Minister given to offering free bus travel to asylum seekers in Wales?

Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 08/12/2023

The current Welcome Ticket was implemented rapidly as part of our response to the war in Ukraine and is included within the Bus Transition Fund which is due to come to an end in March 2024.

As part of the Welsh Government’s commitment to be a Nation of Sanctuary we are considering next steps for the Welcome Ticket in Wales.
