Carers (Subsidised Travel)

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what plans he has to provide subsidised travel for carers in Northern Ireland.

I have no plans at present to provide subsidised travel for carers in Northern Ireland.

Options for extending provision, including to carers, will be considered as part of this review.
