§
Page 10, line 48, leave out from ("him") to end of subsection and insert:
("(6) After proposals for the establishment of a new school have been approved by the Minister under this section the authority or persons by whom the proposed school is to be established shall submit to him in such form and in such manner as he may direct specifications and plans of the school premises, and the Minister, on being satisfied that the school premises will conform to the prescribed standards may approve the specifications and plans:
Provided that before submitting specifications and plans in respect of a school which is to be maintained as a voluntary school the persons by whom the school is to be established shall consult the local education authority.
§ (7) When the proposals specifications and plans for a new school have been approved by the Minister under this section it shall be the duty of the authority or persons by whom the proposed school is to be established to give effect to the proposals in accordance with the specifications and plans so approved, except that in the case of proposals submitted under subsection (2) of this section the duty of providing playing fields and any buildings required only for affording facilities for medical inspection or treatment or for providing milk, meals, or other refreshment shall be the duty of the local education authority.
§ (8) When proposals for the maintenance of any school have been approved by the Minister under this section it shall be the duty of the local education authority to maintain it; and an authority shall not be under any duty to maintain a school after proposals that the authority shall cease to maintain it have been approved by the Minister under this section.")
9§ The Commons agree to the above Amendment and propose the following consequential Amendment to tie Bill:
§ Page 59, line 34, leave out ("provision of a new county school,") and insert ("maintenance as a county school of a school which at the time being is not such a school.")
§ THE EARL OF SELBORNEMy Lords, the next Amendment is a little complicated bus it really is only consequential. On page 10, at line 48, your Lordships left out from "him" to the end of the subsection and inserted three new subsections. It was found when this Amendment was examined in another place that it required a consequential Amendment on page 59 of the Bill; that is, in Clause 79. That consequential Amendment, I regret to say, was overlooked here and therefore it was inserted in another place. I hope your Lordships will agree to this consequential Amendment.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(The Earl of Selborne.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
