HC Deb 16 November 1967 vol 754 cc165-6W
46. Sir D. Walker-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he will reply to the letters dated 20th October, 1966, and 7th March, 1967, from the Hertford and District Teachers' Association setting out their suggestions for the reorganisation of the secondary schools in Hertford and Ware, Hoddesdon and Broxbourne; and what consideration he has given to representations communicated to him following on the recent general meeting of the Association.

Mr. Gordon Walker

My Department acknowledged these letters and assured the Association that their views would be taken into account, as indeed they were, before a decision was made on the local education authority's plan. My Department is writing in reply to the Association's recent representations to explain why I approved the authority's proposals for this area, and I will send the right hon. and learned Gentleman a copy of the letter.
