§ Mr. LANSBURYasked the President of the Board of Education when the London Education Authority proposes to close the High Street School, Bromley-by-Bow, which many years ago was condemned, and has also lately been condemned as unfit for educational purposes?
§ Lord E. PERCYThe closure of this school depends upon the provision of a new school on the site at Back Alley. Steps are being taken to provide the accommodation necessary for dehousing the tenants at present occupying part, of this site, but I cannot at this stage say by what date the site will have been cleared and the new school completed. I would, however, point out that as a result of the completion, in January last, of the enlargement of the Old Palace School, it has been found possible to reduce from 973 to 802 the number of places which896W the High Street School is recognised as providing.
