I refer to the programme for Government commitments, one of which is a review of the school transport scheme. What steps are the Minister for Education and Skills and the Government taking to intervene in the bus strike in respect of school transport? There are reports in the newspapers this morning that, unexpectedly to some extent some would say, school transport is likely to be affected. Drivers affected may be balloted; other drivers will not want to pass pickets. What plans has the Government in place to get children to school?
