HC Deb 22 November 1979 vol 974 c302W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what saving he assumed in the case of each education authority in England and Wales when he calculated that relaxation of existing powers of education authorities to charge for providing school transport would lead to a total reduction in the annual rate of net public expenditure for this purpose of at least £30 million.

Dr. Boyson

Such detailed estimates have not been made since it will be for individual authorities to decide what use to make of the proposed power to charge for transport.
