Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what additional steps he will take to help ensure that refugees travelling from Ukraine to the UK can travel for free from their point of arrival to their host destination.

The Government is determined to ensure that Ukrainian evacuees encounter a warm reception in the UK, and the Department for Transport is working with partners from across the transport industry to provide free onward travel by public transport.

As part of a national scheme organised by the Department working with industry, most public transport operators will provide free onward travel to Ukrainian evacuees to their final destinations in Great Britain. All National Rail train operators in Great Britain, and most bus, coach and light rail operators are participating in this scheme.
