§ 27. Mr. GOLDIEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education if he is aware of the absence of a Catholic school on the new housing estate at East Latchford, Warrington, and that approximately 400 children are therefore compelled to travel daily outside this parish in order to obtain instruction in the faith of their parents; and whether, as the Catholics of Warrington are prepared to provide such a school without any expense to Government funds, he will forthwith authorise the building of suitable school premises?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of EDUCATION (Mr. Ramsbotham)The proposal to build a new Roman Catholic public elementary school at Latchford, to which my hon. Friend refers, has already been considered by the Board. Their decision has been postponed until it is possible to see the effect on the public elementary school accommodation available in the district of a new school which is expected to be opened in November next.
