Text

Mr Speaker, I note that Deborah Erskine's question has been withdrawn, and, with your forbearance and permission, I take this opportunity to personally wish her all the best. I will move on. Thank you for your answer, Minister. We have had a number of queries from constituents whose children have to walk along busy roads where the speed limit is 60 mph and there is no pathway or footpath.
Was that discussed at that meeting, or will the Minister chat to the Education Authority to establish whether, insofar as it is practicable, it could issue special bus passes in those circumstances?
