§ 92. Mr. T. Reidasked the Minister of Education if he will allow the allotment holders at Westcott School, Swindon, mostly old age pensioners, and at Headlands, Swindon, to continue their food production on part of the grounds in question and not dispossess them, as is suggested, in March, 1950.
§ Mr. TomlinsonNo specific proposal is before me but I understand that the local education authority consider that, because of the very inadequate playground facilities at the Westcott County Schools, the land, which was bought for educational purposes in 1932, should now be made available for the use of the children attending these schools. I also understand that the Swindon Borough Council have authorised negotiations for the acquisition of an alternative allotments site.
