§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREasked the President of the Board of Education what provision is made for the elementary education of children in the parish of Llangadwaldr, near Bodargan, Isle of Anglesey?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThere is no public elementary school in the parish of Llangadwaldr, but I understand that there is accommodation for all the children of the parish who need it in the Trefdraeth Church of England school. Plans for a new council school on a site centrally situated were approved by the Board in December, 1908, and a loan for the provision of the school was sanctioned by the Local Government Board in May of last year. I am not sure what progress has been made in the matter since, but I am making inquiries.
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREasked the President of the Board of Education whether he has received one or more applications from the managers of a voluntary non-provided school at Llangadwaldr, Isle of Anglesey, to have their school placed on the Grant list, and whether any Grant or rate aid has been paid to this school; whether he has received any petition from parents in the neighbourhood with regard to this school; and what is the number of children of school age whose parents wish them to be taught in this school?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe Board have received proposals for the provision of a Voluntary Public Elementary School in this parish, which amount to an application to have the existing school, which was previously closed by the owner, placed upon the Grant List. No grants have been paid in respect of the school since its removal from the Grant List on the 1st October, 1907, and I assume that no assistance from the rates has been received by this School since that date inasmuch as it ceased then to be a public elementary school. I have recently received a petition signed by thirty-seven persons, asking that the school may be replaced on the Grant List. It appears from the petition that the signatories are the parents of sixty-two children of school age.
