§ Sir C. STARMERasked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that representations have been made to the Board as to the need of a new school at Dormanstown, in the Borough of Redcar; whether he is aware that the petition of the parents has been supported by the borough council and the North Biding County Education Committee; and whether, in view of this unanimous local opinion, he is now prepared to allow the scheme to proceed?
§ Mr. TREVELYANThe Board received in December, 1922, a largely-signed petition from householders of Dormanstown, together with a resolution from the borough council of Redcar, praying that a new school should be erected in place of the Dormanstown temporary council school. I cannot find that the local education authority expressed at that time any decided view on the subject. I am causing further enquiry to be made into the matter.
