Now, I firmly believe that as a consequence of people working for more years of their lives, they're actually going to be more active for more years and they're going to be better connected to other human beings because they're in work for longer in their lives, and therefore the likelihood of this increasing loneliness and isolation is not a real threat, in my view. Indeed, the current average age of exit from the labour market has now risen to 65 for men and 63 for women. So, progressively, people are remaining in work longer, remaining in touch with other citizens and, so I believe that people will be just as well connected as they are now, even with the increase in eligibility.

I think there are fears out there that this proposal will lead to the loss of bus passes. It will not. There will be no losses in concessionary bus passes in Wales as a result of the changes that I've been able to detail today.
