Yarcombe Primary School (Hansard, 18 May 1965)

HC Deb 18 May 1965 vol 712 c204W 204W

§ Mr. Mathew
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will reconsider his decision to close Yarcombe Primary School.

No. My approval to the Devon local education authority's proposal to close this school was given under section 13(4) of the Education Act, 1944, after full consideration of the circumstances. I have in any case no power to revoke it.
