uin	20758
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2016 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to make additional funding available specifically for school crossing patrols. The Education and Inspection Act 2006 (section 508A) puts a duty on local authorities to promote and establish a strategy for developing a sustainable transport infrastructure that meets the needs of children and young people in their area. This strategy should address such issues as enhanced child safety and security. School Crossing Patrols are one option that can contribute to the fulfilment of this duty. It is for local authorities and schools to determine if and how school crossing patrols are funded from the resources made available by central government.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 12/01/2016 17:53:13 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
