HC Deb 28 February 1957 vol 565 cc202-3W
81. Mr. P. Wells

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education if, in view of the anomalies existing in connection with the conveyance of pupils from the Harps Estate, Minster-on-Sea, to Sheerness schools, he will permit some relaxation in the application of the three mile rule.

Sir E. Boyle

It is for the local education authority to consider whether exceptions should be made to the general rule and to submit for my noble Friend's approval any proposals they may wish to make. No such proposals have as yet been received in respect of the pupils to whom the Question refers.
