HC Deb 07 November 1980 vol 991 c697W
Mr. Spriggs

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will indicate what further proposals he has for the provision of school transport for those pupils who, having reached 16 years of age, choose to remain in full-time education rather than swell the numbers of unemployed school leavers.

Dr. Boyson

The duties and powers of local education authorities relating to the provision of school transport are contained principally in section 55 of the Education Act 1944. My right hon. and learned Friend has no plans for any amendment.
