Related to that is the whole issue around the cost of living. Does public transport have a big role to play in that regard? The Minister is dealing with the dual issues, one of which is encouraging people onto public transport, which has considerable benefits for climate change. I often use the train and am a great believer in public transport. The other issue is that of the cost of living. Does the Department of Transport have a role to play in the Government's measures and the announcement it will make around the cost of living for people at the moment?
