Answer
My current priority is implementing the second financial support scheme for bus and coach operators. While my officials and I will continue to work with the sector to monitor the impact of Covid-19 restrictions on operators, the Executive will need to consider how support and funding will be taken forward for all areas of the economy from April 2021.
