§ 80. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Education if he is aware that since the school-leaving age was raised to 15 years, season tickets for school children at half rates are not available for the last year at school; and if he will consult the British Transport Commission with a view to securing rectification of this anomaly.
§ Sir D. EcclesNo. Local education authorities make such arrangements as are necessary to transport children to school if they live beyond walking distance. Apart from this, many transport undertakings make various fare concessions for journeys to and from school.
