Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:25 pm on 5 August 2020.
Llywydd, we publish the advice on a weekly basis, so the Member will see all of that, as she will already have been able to see all the evidence we have published on childhood transmission and childhood vulnerability. These two studies will be looked at by our technical advisory group, and, if it changes their minds, then they will tell us that. But the preponderance of evidence has been on the opposite side of that divide, including in places like Denmark, where they have longer experience already of children returning to school. So, there's more than one study here and the weight of evidence is not on the side that the Member has identified so far.
On bus places, we continue to work with local authorities and with bus providers to make sure that, to the maximum extent possible, we are able to provide effective school transport for children returning to school in the autumn.
