§ MR. ESSEXI beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether a scheme has been decided upon for the use of the trust funds of Northleach (Gloucestershire) Grammar School in educational work in that town and its neighbourhood; and, if not, how do the affairs of the trust now stand.
§ MR. RUNCIMANNo scheme has yet been drafted for the administration of the Northleach Westwood Grammar School. A local inquiry was held by Officers of the Board on 22nd July as to a proposal to utilise the endowment for the establishment of a higher elementary school. On 7th September the Board addressed a letter to the local education authority with regard to the prospects which such a school, if established, might be expected to have, and to this letter they are now awaiting a reply.
