§ Mr. James Clappison (Hertsmere)I wish to present a petition from my constituents concerning the future of education in Borehamwood. This petition has attracted more than 2,000 signatures. It states:
Petition of Save Our Schools AssociationDeclares that we are opposed to the closure of five schools in Borehamwood in the County of Hertfordshire as proposed by the Education Committee of Hertfordshire County Council.The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Secretary of State for Education and Employment to reject the proposed closure of these schools and demand that Hertfordshire County Council utilise the facilities and sound education that these five schools currently offer to the children of our town.And the Petitioners remain, etc.
§ To lie upon the Table.
