§ 25. Mr. G. Jegerasked the Minister of Education whether he is yet in a position to give a decision about the proposal to close the Snaith Church of England School.
§ Mr. VosperNot yet. This proposal raises some difficult issues which my right hon. Friend is still considering.
§ Mr. JegerWill the hon. Gentleman bear in mind that discussion of this question has been going on since July, and there is considerable local feeling in Snaith, which is an old township, that the junior school there should not be entirely abolished?
§ Mr. VosperA statutory procedure is involved in this case. It was only last month that my hon. Friend received the local authority's comments on the objections raised, but he will endeavour to reach a decision quickly.
