§ 34. Mr. SMEDLEY CROOKEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education if he will have inquiries made into the case of the dismissal of four ex-service men, masters of the Haverfordwest Grammar School, with a view to their reinstatement, having regard to the fact that this action is not in accordance with the advice of the local education authority and will result in loss of pensions to these ex-service men?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Ramsbotham)My Noble Friend understands that in the result of a recent discussion between the governors of the Haverfordwest Grammar School and the 523 local education authority, the matter referred to in the question will be further considered by the governors at a meeting which will take place shortly. In the meantime my Noble Friend is of opinion that any action on his part would be inexpedient.
