HC Deb 07 December 1998 vol 322 c38W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will evaluate the impact on(a) road traffic and (b) air quality of the Greenwich judgment concerning school places. [62860]

Ms Glenda Jackson

We have no plans to evaluate the specific impact of the Greenwich judgment on road traffic and air quality, but the School Travel Advisory Group, announced in "A New Deal for Transport: Better for Everyone", may wish to examine the range of factors leading to longer journeys to school.
