Okay. Well, thank you for that clarification. Are you in any position to tell us how funding from the schemes included in the roads review might be redirected in the future towards these excellent projects that we've just been talking about?

Okay. My personal frustration is on the lack of any map connecting schools to communities of pupils and how we ensure that all pupils have the capacity to get a bike.

Okay, that's useful to know. Just moving on, because, obviously, otherwise we'll run out of time, could you just tell us how the active travel ambitions are affected by the reduced budgets?

Well, we've been doing some work on electric charging, which we will see in due course, but I just want to focus on the buses for the time being. Cardiff and Newport were both successful in getting money through the Department for Transport in Westminster…

That's all right, Chair. I welcome the holistic approach that we now have to getting from A to B, via whatever means. I just wanted to move on to how the budget may have impacted on your plans for the decarbonisation of buses and taxis and private hire…

Thank you for that clarification. Could I just move on then to the Transport for Wales budget and how easy it is to understand? Because TfW was set up eight years ago. How do you think—? What progress do you think has been made in enabling everybody to see…

On the more significant upgrades that are needed to the four lines that run east to west that are the spine of the metro project, there's no indication that the UK Government is addressing that issue.

What impact, if any, is the £50 million that the UK Government has announced for what appears to be just a small branch line from Cardiff Central to Cardiff Bay actually going to have on the efficiency of our south-east Wales metro system?

Thank you. I just want to look at transport poverty first. Sustrans says that it's really widespread, and we know that at least 13 per cent of all households don't have a vehicle themselves. If they can't even afford the price of a bus, what, if anything…

Statement by the Minister for Social Justice: Holocaust Memorial Day 2023
