HC Deb 31 July 1911 vol 29 cc14-5
Mr. CRAWSHAY-WILLIAMS

asked whether Chorley is now the only town in England with a population of over 30,000 inhabitants without a council school; whether a largely signed petition of parents and ratepayers has been received in favour of a council school; and what action the education authorities propose to take in the matter?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. With regard to the rest of the question, I must refer my hon. Friend to the answers I gave in this House on 20th July.
