HC Deb 19 February 1919 vol 112 cc968-9W
Sir B. STANIER

asked the President of the Board of Education if he is aware of the desire in Bishop's Castle, Shropshire, for a secondary school; and if anything is being done to carry out this request, as these is no school near for this class of education?

Mr. FISHER

I am aware of the strong desire in the locality for the provision of a secondary school as soon as possible. A site was approved by the Board in July, 1914, but during the War it was not possible to make any further progress. I understand that the local education authority, who are in agreement with the Board as to the desirability of the provision, are now considering the steps which can be taken to give effect to the proposal in the immediate future.
