HC Deb 12 November 1959 vol 613 c570
19. Mr. Hornby

asked the Minister of Education whether he will approve the building of a primary school on the Sherwood Estate in Tunbridge Wells.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education (Mr. Kenneth Thompson)

I regret that my right hon. Friend cannot add this school to the building programmes already announced.

Mr. Hornby

Will my hon. Friend take note that there has been very strong feeling locally about the lack of a school such as this in the Sherwood Estate area? Will he also take note that the application for the building of this school has appeared on the priority programme of both the Divisional Executive and the Kent County Council?

Mr. Thompson

Yes. It is agreed by my right hon. Friend that there should be a school on the estate. We have many more pressing claims on our resources for the next few years.
