My officials are currently engaging with the bus industry to better understand the potential impact of the increase in employer contribution for national insurance from next financial year. I am keen to ensure that we continue to support and maintain stability in the provision of bus services across Wales, though I cannot confirm budget allocations until our budget process is concluded.
