HC Deb 07 May 1931 vol 252 c548
34. Lieut.-Colonel GAULT

asked the President of the Board of Education whether his attention has been drawn to the overcrowding of vehicles provided for the purpose of conveying children in rural areas to and from school; and whether he will have the matter investigated and take the necessary steps to see that county authorities provide adequate accommodation in this respect for the future?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Lees-Smith)

No representations have been made to me to suggest that local education authorities do not provide adequate accommodation for the purpose of conveying children to and from school. But if the hon. and gallant Member will give me particulars of any case in which overcrowding is alleged, I will have it investigated.
