HC Deb 11 December 1969 vol 793 c157W
60. Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) if he will now publish the plans submitted to him for reorganisation of secondary schools in Bideford;

(2) if, in view of the part Edghill School has played in the educational system of Bideford, he will refuse his consent to any scheme which does not allow this school to play a part in new arrangements.

Mr. Edward Short

The Devon Authority has not yet submitted its reorganisation scheme for the Bideford area. I cannot prejudge my consideration of the authority's proposals.
