HC Deb 29 January 1990 vol 166 cc30-1W
Mr. Speller

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will seek powers to require a no smoking sign to be displayed in all school buses.

Mr. Alan Howarth

It is for local education authorities to decide whether such signs should be displayed. My right hon. Friend does, however, fully support the campaign launched recently by the Health Education Authority to encourage schools to eliminate smoking from educational establishments and out-of-school activities involving pupils in the four to 19 age range.
