HC Deb 20 January 1978 vol 942 cc381-2W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if he will make a statement about the future status of Dollar Academy;

(2) what latest discussions he has had with local authorities regarding the future of Dollar Academy.

Mr. McElhone

I understand that the intention of the Governors is that Dollar Academy will become an independent school when the Exchequer grant ceases at the end of the school's 1981–82 financial year. A meeting between representatives of the Central Region, the school and the Scottish Education Department was held on 22nd April 1977, at which the future arrangements for the education of Dollar parish pupils were discussed.
