§ Mr. Mackintoshasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, in view of the increases in bus fares and the difficulty of obtaining public transport in the rural areas, he will review the rule that local education authorities will only pay for the transport of schoolchildren if they live more than three miles from the nearest school.
§ Mr. RossEducation authorities have power to make arrangements for transport without reference to any particular distance, as they consider necessary. I shall be glad to look into any individual case.
