Mr. Edwards: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will meet the First Secretary of the National Assembly to discuss the
legal obligations placed on local authorities relating to home-to-school transport. [12492]
Mr. Touhig: I have written to the Assembly Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning on this matter, with particular reference to
the issues raised by my hon. Friend in the debate on Transport to School, on 30 October 2001, Official Report, columns 243-50WH.
Local education authorities (LEAs) have a statutory duty to decide how best to meet their home to school transport obligations. LEAs
are obliged to provide free transport to the nearest school for pupils under eight-years-old who live more than two miles from the
school, and for pupils above the age of eight who live more than three miles from the school.
