§ Mr. Kershawasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received about primary education in Dursley; and what answer he has made.
§ Mr. CroslandA letter from the Dursley County Primary School Parent Teacher Association was received in my Department on 2nd March. It asked that the Association should be given an opportunity of objecting to the proposed reorganisation of primary schools in Dursley. I understand that the Gloucestershire Education Authority propose that the County Primary School should serve infants only and that the controlled school should serve juniors. A proposal to this effect does not require my approval and any objection should be addressed to the Local Education Authority. I shall reply to the representations made to me on these lines.
