Carers (Subsidised Travel)
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what plans he has to extend the Northern Ireland concessionary fares scheme to include carers; how many people he expects would benefit as a result; how much the extension would cost; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
I have no plans, at present, to extend concessionary travel on public transport to include carers. The Department for Regional Development is committed to reviewing the Northern Ireland Concessionary Fares Scheme. This review is due to commence shortly. Options for extending provision, including to carers, will be considered as part of this review.
