§ 46. Mr. Haymanasked the Minister of Education what action she proposes to take on the decision of the Cornwall Education Committee to withdraw traveling grants from the small number of scholars at St. John's Roman Catholic Voluntary Primary School, Camborne, Cornwall, who live outside the limits for compulsory attendance at that school, the only one of its kind within a radius of 10 miles.
§ Miss HorsbrughI have been in touch with the authority, who have informed me that they have received some appeals from parents against this decision and that they are giving further consideration to it.
§ Mr. HaymanIs the Minister aware that this economy was a direct result of Circular 242? Will she now issue another circular, modifying the terms of the previous one?
§ Miss HorsbrughNo. I certainly will not. The authority agree that they have the power to do these things and to modify them as they think best. The authority are perfectly aware of the facts in Circular 242, and they can act accordingly by modifying their scheme.
