§ 35. Mr. Harveyasked the President of the Board of Education which local education authorities have submitted proposals to acquire an especially large site with a view to grouping upon it a number of educational buildings and forming a school base?
§ Mr. ButlerNo local education authority has submitted a proposal to acquire an especially large site with a view to the provision of a school base.
§ Mr. HarveyWill my right hon. Friend consult with the Minister of Town and Country Planning with a view to encouraging local authorities to make such proposals?
§ Mr. ButlerIn my answer of 14th February I drew attention to the fact that the local education authority was at liberty to seek a site for this purpose if so desired and there would be no difficulty in principle, and I hope that due publicity has been given to that. As to contact with my right hon. Friend, I already maintain that contact and shall continue to do so.
