HC Deb 28 October 1999 vol 336 c979W
Mr. Borrow

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will make a statement on the provision of post-16 student transport in Lancashire. [94272]

Mr. Wicks

Decisions on support for transport for post-16 pupils is a matter for local discretion. Lancashire local education authority has withdrawn transport support for all new students except those who meet very strict criteria for "extenuating circumstances".
