§ 67. Mr. EDEasked the President of the Board of Education what action the Surrey Education Committee has taken with respect to the complaints made by the Epsom Urban District Council on the sanitary condition of West Hill Infants' Council School, Epsom; whether he is aware that the managers of the Epsom council schools have asked the education committee to provide a new school; and whether he will be prepared to sanction the erection of a new school on the site purchased by the County Council in Dorking Road, Epsom, to replace the West Hill Infants' Council School??
Mr. WOODI have communicated with the local education authority, asking what action they propose to take with regard 2043 to the complaint made by the Epsom Urban District Council, but have not yet received a reply. I have seen a newspaper statement of the nature referred to in the second part of the question, and if an application is made for approval of a site for a new school, I shall be prepared to consider it sympathetically.
§ Mr. EDEIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the County Council were allowed to purchase the site, and all that is required now is his consent to erect the building on it?
