Mr. Hugh Creegan:

I cannot, nor will I try to, defend that. As the Deputy knows from what he has said, our remit does not include school transportation. That is the legislation. Someone needs to change the legislation if we are to become responsible for it. We try to integrate certain things, but only in a limited way. I am sure the Deputy is aware of one such instance last year when his constituents were not happy. It really is down to the legislation. At the moment, we do not have the remit to cover school transport.
