§ 106. Colonel Stoddart-Scottasked the Minister of Education whether he is aware that there is no secondary modern school to serve the Ilkley, Burley and Ben Rhydding area of Yorkshire, and that a proposal by the West Riding County Council to convert the Ben Rhydding School into a secondary modern school has not been adopted; and if he will state what recommendations his inspector made and what action is to be taken to remedy the present deficiency.
§ Mr. TomlinsonI am aware that there is at present no secondary modern school in this area. The proposal referred to by the hon. and gallant Member has been submitted to me, but it needs careful consideration, particularly as there have 153W been objections from some of the parents. I shall give my decision as soon as possible.
