Answer
I have not held any meetings with the Department for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to discuss the continuation of the Assisted Rural Travel Scheme.
Any such meeting can only take place after the Executive has agreed the budget position for 2017/2018.
Officials meet to discuss the administration of the scheme not its continuation which is a policy issue for Ministers.
