Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 2:12 pm on 22 January 2020.
Obviously, the Government has various levers that it can pull in the public transport field and transport models that it can support. The Anglesey air link, obviously, is one model of public transport I would suggest that is supported by the Government, and I have to say, the service has improved dramatically over the last 12 to 18 months, and uptake has been enormously popular on this route. The environment Secretary, in her interview on Sharp End, highlighted that, actually, because of the declaration of the climate change emergency, this is an area of public expenditure that the Government should be reconsidering. Is that Government policy, to reconsider the subsidy that it makes available on that air route, bearing in mind the comments that the environment Secretary made on Sharp End on Monday?
