This includes transport for those who attend their nearest suitable school where it is beyond the statutory walking distances of two miles for children under eight years old and three miles for those aged eight to 16. They must also provide transport where there is no safe walking route. Approximately 60% of this funding is spent on transport for children with special educational needs.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 21/06/2018 15:54:36 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
