HC Deb 09 April 1984 vol 58 c102W
Mr. Nicholson

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many children are in receipt of concessionary fares to schools in the Southern education and library board area.

Mr. Chris Patten

All children of compulsory school age are entitled to half-fare travel on bus and rail services, without restriction; it is not possible to identify separately their journeys to school.
