HC Deb 27 October 1998 vol 318 c104W
Mr. Kidney

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what alternatives to transporting children to and from school by car his Department is actively promoting. [56071]

Ms Glenda Jackson

A wide range of local initiatives to reduce car use on the journey to and from school already exist. My Department is drawing on this work to develop separate guidance on best practice for both local authorities and schools. The School Travel Advisory Group will move forward quickly to raise the profile of school travel issues and identify practical means of influencing behaviour.
