MHK asks about lack of subsidised fares
The infrastructure minister says he has “no intention of changing” the policy on bus fares for students at King William's College.
Ray Harmer was asked about the 40p subsidised fare for state school students, and why it doesn’t apply to privately-educated pupils, by Onchan MHK Rob Callister in this week's House of Keys sitting.
Mr Harmer says provision for private education is not his priority:
