HC Deb 16 June 1982 vol 25 cc299-300W
40. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will commission a sample survey, along similar lines to that carried out in respect of concessionary schemes for pensioners and others in 1978 of those local authorities which pay the fares, or make a grant for payment, of fares to children over 16 years who remain at school.

Mr. Eyre

No. I do not believe that such a survey would be justified, bearing in mind the need to minimise demands for statistical information from local authorities.
