§ 18. Mr. W. Yatesasked the Minister of Education when he expects the new modern school at Ketley to be completed and ready to take pupils; how many pupils there wlil be; and what he estimates will be the cost of this school.
§ Sir E. BoyleThis school will open in September with about 400 pupils. Its cost on tender, including accommodation for evening classes, was £141,689.
§ Mr. YatesIs my hon. Friend aware that those three answers are very satisfactory and that they confirm that the Wrekin area, which is the old Industrial Revolution area, will receive a secondary school? Secondly, do they not dispose once for all of the idea that the Conservative Party wish to cut education?
§ Sir E. BoyleI think my answers also confirm that Shropshire has a conspicuously good local education authority.
