School Children (Travelling Expenses)

HC Deb 24 February 1948 vol 447 c324W

103. Commander Noble

asked the Minister of Pensions if he will consider granting school railway warrants to children of widows.

Mr. Buchanan

When a child qualifies for an education allowance under the provisions of the Royal Warrant, the Ministry pays any reasonable expenses incurred in travelling to school, if such expenses cannot be met by the local education authorities under the Education Act, 1944.
