§ Mr. Hardyasked the Minister of Education what arrangements have been made by the Kesteven, Lincolnshire, education authority, regarding children who cannot be accepted at Alvey School, Sleaford; what transport arrangements exists for children who live approximately three miles from school; what arrangements are made for mid-day meals to be provided and at what cost.
§ Mr. TomlinsonNo special arrangements are necessary. These children can attend the nearest primary school which is in all cases within two miles of their homes. Transport is, therefore, not generally necessary—but one boy who suffers from asthma is supplied with transport and other children are allowed to occupy the spare seats. School dinners are available at three of the village schools. The charge to parents at present is 5d.
