§ MR. HAROLD RECKITT (Lincolnshire, Brigg)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Board of Education if he will explain why the Board of Education have decided that there is no sufficient evideace that a council school is required at Barton-on-Humber, in view of the report of the inspector who held the public inquiry that such a school was required in the interests of secular education, of economy of the rates, and to meet the wishes of the parents.
§ SIR WILLIAM ANSONThe hon. Member would appear to have been misinformed as to the findings of the Commissioner sent by the Board to conduct this inquiry. The local education authority, after careful inquiry, determined to accept the proposed voluntary school, and the Board, acting on the 1250 report of their Commissioner, saw no reason to differ from this conclusion.
