§ 65. Mr. Prenticeasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will consult local education authorities and teachers' organisations to obtain their views on the value of the work of the police road safety teams in schools.
§ Mr. van StraubenzeeNo. I understand the reasons for the decision by the Commissioner of Metropolitan Police to transfer the members of these teams to other work. I am sure that local education authorities, with the help they will continue to receive from the police, are well able to make suitable alternative arrangements.
