§ Mr. AdleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education what provision is being made for transport for children attending grant-maintained schools.
§ Mr. ForthLocal education authorities have a statutory duty to provide free transport for pupils who attend grant-maintained schools for whom they consider it necessary, and the power to assist other pupils. Information on LEAs' schools transport arrangements is not collected centrally, but they must treat GM pupils no less favourably as regards transport than pupils who attend schools maintained by an LEA.
