§ 24. Mr. LUMLEYasked the President of the Board of Education whether he has sanctioned the removal of the secondary school at present in Craven Street, Hull, to another site?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Lord Eustace Percy)Yes, Sir. I have approved the purchase of a site for a secondary school to replace the school now carried on at Craven Street, and the plans of the building are being discussed with the authority.
§ 25. Mr. LUMLEYasked the President of the Board of Education if he is aware that some 2,300 new houses have been or will soon have been erected on the East Hull housing estate; that the only school at present on the estate, i.e., Southcoates Lane School, is already taxed to its utmost capacity; whether he has sanctioned proposals for the building of another school; and, if so, whether building will begin without delay?
§ Lord E. PERCYI am aware of the position as represented by my hon. Friend. The local authority have issued notices of their intention to provide a new school for about 1,200 children and are in active negotiation for a site.
