HC Deb 15 July 1946 vol 425 c148W
103. Sir I. Fraser

asked the Minister of Transport if, particularly in rural areas, he will arrange with the transport services, including omnibuses, for places to be reserved, or some priority to be given by the conductors to schoolchildren, who frequently have tiring journeys to and from school.

Mr. Barnes:

In general, it would not be practicable to give priority to schoolchildren over other travellers in omnibuses. If the hon. Member will give me particulars of any case where special difficulty occurs I will see whether anything can be done to mitigate it.
