HC Deb 30 November 1971 vol 827 c86W
Mr. Hicks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy in relation to rate support grant for those local authorities which provide transport for schoolchildren for distances less than the statutory requirements.

Mr. Graham Page

I have no plans to alter the existing provisions under which all local authority expenditure on school transport is taken into account in arriving at the forecast of relevant expenditure on which the total grant is based.
