§ 51. Mr. Mayhewasked the Minister of Education why he turned down the recommendation of the London County Council that St. Joseph's Academy, Blackheath, be included in the 1964–65 school building programme; and if he will reconsider this decision.
§ Mr. ChatawayMy right hon. Friend had to give priority to the provision of new school places in areas where the total number of places was insufficient, and to the completion of the reorganisation of all-age schools. The enlargement of St. Joseph's Academy did not fall within those categories. I am meeting a Committee of parents tomorrow to discuss the matter.
