HC Deb 08 December 1975 vol 902 c80W
Mr. Adam Hunter

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the expenditure incurred in the year 1974 by local authorities in Scotland on school transport; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. William Ross

Expenditure by Scottish local authorities on the provision of school transport in the financial year 1973–74 was approximately £5.9 million. Revised proposals for school transport were circulated to interested parties in August. I shall not be in a position to make a statement on the Scottish position until these consultations are complete.
