NEW initiative to tackle the roblem of school transport — icluding a possible flat-rate harge for all — is being taken y the Government.
Miss Margaret Jackson, Inder-Secretary for Educaion, announced in the :ommons that, with the greement of the local authority associations, Mrs Shirley Williams, the Education Secretary, had commissioned the study of the administrative and financial implications of introducing new arrangements for the provision of home-to-school transport.
This would include a flat rate charge for all, subject to suitable remission arrangements.
Miss Jackson added that the work should be finished by the end of the year and, depending on the conclusions reached, should facilitate the preparation of proposals for the amending legislation.
