The answer

Answered by Nicol Stephen on 26 Sep 2002 · 27 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Executive has not made recommendations to local authorities on this matter. When required to measure the distance between a pupil's home and school, local authorities are responsible for doing so in a way that is accurate and reasonable.
