HC Deb 14 January 1976 vol 903 cc145-6W
46. Mr. Watkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many representations have been made to him on the matter of school transport.

Mr. Marks

We have received a number of letters from hon. Members about the use of school operated transport in relation to the public service vehicle licensing system. We have also received letters about the question of concessionary fares for children on school journeys, and this is also the subject of a current appeal to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State. Matters arising on the statutory provision of school transport are, of course, for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science.
