COMMENTARY ON SECTIONS

Section 8 – Travel arrangements to and from nursery education

38.Section 8 is a regulation making power allowing the Welsh Ministers to make provision about the travel arrangements for nursery age children. Under this power a local authority could be required by Welsh Ministers to make travel arrangements for children under compulsory school age who are in nursery education. Subsection (2) describes the scope of the regulation making powers. The regulations could make provision similar to that made in the Measure in relation to children of compulsory school age and could require any person to provide information and assistance that a local authority might reasonably require.
