On 25th of November I invited the National Convenor for SNP Students, Lloyd Melville, to GCU Students’ Association to discuss the extension of the free under-22 bus travel scheme to all students, including students above the age of 21.

I am pleased to inform that SNP Students are supportive of this and that this has been incorporated within their National Policy. The proposal is planned to be potentially put forward as an agenda item in the next SNP National Party Conference by them.

I will now be reaching out to the student wings of all mainstream National Political Parties of Scotland in order to develop a potential consensus going forward.

Rolling the free bus travel scheme to all students is of particular significance to institutions such as GCU, which has a vast mature student population of over 4,000.
