§ Sir G. de Freitasasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, what representations he has received from the local government electors of Stoke Albany, Northamptonshire, concerning the closure of their village school; and what reply he has made to it.
§ Mr. CroslandI have received objections to the proposed closure of the Stoke Albany School from the managers; from the Chairman of the Parish Council, forwarding a petition on behalf of 159 local government electors; from a number of transport drivers who use the road between Stoke Albany and Wilbarston where the local education authority propose that the Stoke Albany children 53W should in future attend school. I am studying these objections and I have not yet sent a reply.
