§ 2. Mr. C. Johnsonasked the Minister of Education whether he has considered the petition sent to him and signed by 2,736 inhabitants of Lewisham and other places for the rebuilding of St. John's School, Lewisham; and if he is now prepared to give his consent to the inclusion of this school in the London County Council school rebuilding programme.
§ Sir D. EcclesYes, Sir. I have approved the rebuilding of this school as one of several projects to complete the London County Council's building programme for 1962–63.
§ Mr. JohnsonMay I thank the Minister for that reply and say with what satisfaction it will be greeted by the inhabitants of my constituency who wish to continue to send their children to this very important school?
