Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when the funding arrangements for post-October half-term school transport will be published.
The Government is committed to ensuring all pupils can travel to school and college safely and on time. We have provided local transport authorities with more than £40 million of funding to increase dedicated home to school and college transport capacity in the first half of the autumn term.
The Department will inform local transport authorities of their funding allocations for the second half of the autumn term shortly.
