§ Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the estimated cost of bussing children to school in the administrative county of Suffolk.
§ Dr. BoysonThis information is not available in the form requested. However, estimates of the total recurrent cost of providing transport between home and school are provided in the education statistics published annually by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy, copies of which are in the Library. These show that in 1978–79 the cost to the Suffolk local education authority was expected to be about £1.8 million at 1978 survey prices.
