HC Deb 14 May 1992 vol 207 c205W
Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has any plans to expand the number and improve the pay of lollipop people in Greater London; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Charles Wardle

I understand from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that at 30 April the number of school crossing patrol people which had risen by 22 since 11 February stood at 1,164, against an establishment of 1,350. School crossing patrol pay is based on rates agreed by the National Joint Council for Local Authorities Services and is reviewed annually.
