Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

LIVERPOOL Education Committee has told head teachers in infant and junior schools they must use Merseyside PTE coaches for school trips even if private buses are cheaper.

The committee says it makes sense to use MPTE vehicles where ever possible because they are already being supported by county ratepayers.

Schools will be able to opt out only if they have their own school minibuses or MPTE buses are not available.

One councillor said the policy was misguided, and quoted the case of a £4 per head MPTE tender against £2.60 from a private operator for a school trip.
