HC Deb 11 February 1983 vol 36 c475W
Mr. Whitehead

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what consultations have taken place over the proposed revised arrangements for funding student travel costs; and when he expects to announce a decision.

Mr. Waldegrave

Officials of the Department have consulted the local authority associations, who are responsible for administering the present arrangements. My right hon. Friend is at present considering a number of possibilities for change and expects to announce a decision shortly.
