HC Deb 18 February 1964 vol 689 cc189-90W
Dr. D. Johnson

asked the Minister of Education what is his intention in regard to the closure of voluntary-aided primary schools in the City of Carlisle and the transfer of their pupils to proposed new schools, in view of the fact that one such school was built in 1871 and originally scheduled for closure in September, 1955.

Sir E. Boyle

The Carlisle Local Education Authority has included projects for the replacement of two aided primary schools in its proposals for the school building programme for 1965 to 1968. I shall, of course, bear these projects in mind; but I must also have regard, when deciding which projects can be included, to the Authority's own order of priority.
