§ Mr. CHORLTONasked the President of the Board of Education whether he has considered the resolution sent from the managers of the 10 non-provided schools and from a large number of ratepayers in Bury with relation to a proposal of the borough council to build a new council school in the east ward; and what steps he is taking to hold up this proposal until the existing schools in the borough have been re-assessed by his inspectors?
Mr. STANLEYThe statutory period of publication of notices of the authority's proposal is only now about to expire. The representations of the parties concerned will receive full consideration before a decision on the necessity of the proposed school is arrived at.
