HC Deb 26 March 1953 vol 513 cc819-20
12. Mr. Hayman

asked the Minister of Education when she expects to be able to give a decision on the application for controlled status for Penryn Voluntary Church of England School, Cornwall.

Miss Horsbrugh

The controlled status Order for Penryn Primary School was made on 16th March. I am sorry that it was delayed.

Mr. Hayman

While thanking the Minister for that statement, may I ask her to bear in mind that the two county primary schools in Penryn, of which this school is one, are in a deplorable state, and will she consider sympathetically any proposals for a new school or a new status for the school?

Miss Horsbrugh

That, of course, is a completely different question. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will put it down.

13. Mr. Hayman

asked the Minister of Education when she expects the canteen servery for Penryn Voluntary Church of England School, Cornwall, to be ready for use.

Miss Horsbrugh

At the beginning of the summer term.

Mr. Hayman

Will the right hon. Lady remember that I received from the Parliamentary Secretary 10 weeks ago a promise that the servery would probably be ready by the middle of March?

Miss Horsbrugh

The final approval for the building of the servery was given in August, 1952.
