School Transport Bill

Mr Peter Atkinson (Assistant Chief Whip, Whips; Hexham, Conservative)
May I press the Minister a little bit further? One suggestion made in rural Northumberland, where people travel
considerable distances to school, was that the education authority should give some money to a parent to provide a daily service using a car, but it prompted an enormous amount of complications because a profit motive was being introduced into the deal and apparently it was not possible to proceed. However, that would be a good solution, too.
