HC Deb 02 April 1946 vol 421 c188W
Major C. Poole

asked the Minister of Education if she is aware that children resident in the parish of Salford Priors, on reaching the age of 10, have to travel to Bidford-on-Avon to school and that the local education authority issue bicycles for this purpose; and, in view of the danger on the roads, if she will cause the authority to provide transport by omnibus for these children.

Miss Wilkinson:

I cannot agree that it is necessary to provide an omnibus in place of the bicycles which, I understand, have been found to be a safe and convenient means of transport in this district.
