HC Deb 28 February 1924 vol 170 c730W
Sir C. STARMER

asked 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. TREVELYAN

The 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.
