Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will take steps with Cabinet colleagues to provide free bus transport to Ukrainian refugees.

The Government is determined to ensure that Ukrainian evacuees encounter a warm reception in the UK. The Department for Transport continues to work with partners across the industry, and the Confederation of Passenger Transport, to provide free onward travel for Ukraine evacuees by bus.

As part of the national scheme organised by the Department, in conjunction with industry, most bus operators will continue to provide free onward travel to Ukrainian evacuees to their final destinations in Great Britain until 20th December 2022. The Government is grateful for industry’s continued support.
