HC Deb 08 April 1948 vol 449 c24W
25. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Minister of Education whether he will hold a public inquiry into the site for a new senior school at Burford, Oxfordshire, to enable the local authorities concerned to express their views.

Mr. Tomlinson

No. I am aware that the Burford and certain other local councils do not agree with the Oxfordshire local education authority's choice of site. I am, however, satisfied that there is no better alternative. There is already on this site a practical subjects centre which will form the nucleus of the new school, and which has been attended by senior children from Burford since its erection in 1932.
