HC Deb 30 May 1945 vol 411 c242W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Education whether his attention has been drawn to action taken by the Reading Borough Council in dismissing the governing body of a grammar school on the ground that, as all the schools in the area newly classified as secondary schools cannot immediately secure separate governing bodies, no school should enjoy this, privilege; and if, as he has declared his desire to preserve the individuality of schools, he will take steps to alter this decision.

Mr. Law

I have received no official intimation of any action by the Reading local education authority of the kind described by the hon. Member. I am, however, making inquiries and will communicate with him on the point.
