HC Deb 09 June 1999 vol 332 cc356-7W
12. Mr. Edwards

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement about the provision of home to school transport. [85166]

Mr. Hain

The provision of home to school transport is a matter for local education authorities. Each LEA must publish a home to school transport policy which sets out arrangements for its area. The School Transport Advisory Group (STAG) has been commissioned to provide advice on school transport. A sub group of STAG is looking specifically at home to school transport arrangements. The Group has been asked to report its findings by the end of the year.
