HC Deb 23 June 1966 vol 730 cc112-3W
62. Mr. Berry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will seek to amend the School Crossing Patrols Act, 1963 in such a way as to provide that school crossing patrols shall be under the control of local education authorities rather than local authorities.

Mr. Taverne

No. My right hon. Friend has no reason to believe that any change is called for in existing arrangements. A local authority may, if it wishes, delegate its power to provide school crossing patrols to any of its committees, including the Education Committee.
