The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of Low Emission Zones on the cost of school trips made by coach by schools in (a) Greater London and (b) other parts of the country.

Answered by Catherine McKinnell

Schools typically offer a range of enriching opportunities, including trips, for pupils but it is for schools to decide what to offer in line with their curriculum and what works for the children and families they serve.

The department has not made an assessment of the impact of Low Emission Zones on the cost of school trips made by coach.
