COLLIE SCHOOL STUDENTS — TRANSPORT COSTS
I ask a supplementary question. It is now halfway through the school year. Will the minister intervene to ensure that these students can access the courses that are so very vital to their future? Dr E. CONSTABLE

The comments I just made stand. We are a quarter of a way through the school year. For the first term the bus that was contracted took these students without charge and then it became evident, with the disconnect in the two departments’ policies, that the Department of Transport would charge the students. We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as we can.
