HC Deb 03 November 1949 vol 469 c68W
96. Mr. Parkin

asked the Minister of Education for what reasons it has been decided that Brimscombe Polytechnic, now that it is a modern secondary school, shall no longer be available for political meetings even during a local government election.

Mr. Tomlinson

I understand that the attention of the governors of this school has now been drawn by the local education authority to the requirements of Section 69 of the Local Government Act, 1933, and that the application which has been made to them for the use of a room in the school for an election meeting will now be granted.
