§ Mr. SNOWDENasked the President of the board Education what progress is being made with the securing of a site for a new school at Flixton, near Manchester; and, if a site has not yet been acquired, will the Board of Education take steps to urge the local authority to obtain a site immediately, in view of the facts that the present school buildings were condemned in 1904; that in June, 1907, the present buildings were only recognised for a further period of two years, and that nearly two years ago the local authority agreed to purchase a certain site for an agreed upon sum, but have up to the present refused to complete the purchase?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI understand that the local authority have now selected a site, and a loan has been sanctioned for its purchase. The plans of the buildings have been approved by the Board, and no further delay in the provision of the new school is anticipated.
