I very much welcome this opportunity to discuss school transport. As the Minister will appreciate, we are all aware of difficulties and I will bring those to light. Fundamentally, the waiving of school transport fees is a good thing for two reasons. It is a good thing because of the cost of living, and I appreciate that the Minister took that step. The second reason relates to climate action. Is climate action taken on board in the terms of reference of the review? I will come back to the review. I ask that the Minster answers quite briefly and then I will come back in.
