Every day, under the school transport scheme, thousands of students are taken to and from school. It is an invaluable service for many thousands of families.

The service relies on rigid rules that, unfortunately, do not recognise, for example, that students may not be attending the immediately adjacent school or are perhaps going to schools their families had associations with over many years. Regarding the pilot review, will the Minister give an overview of where those pilots are now? Is the Minister ready to advance a new scheme?
