§ 59. Mr. Woodnuttasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in view of the fact that Brother Cassian, the headmaster of St. Swithin's School at Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, has not been dismissed but is taking accumulated leave, if he will give an undertaking that Brother Cassian, because of what has happened at St. Swithin's, will not be excluded from consideration for approval in the future as headmaster of an approved school.
§ Mr. CallaghanIn considering the agreed findings by a joint committee of the managers of St. Swithin's and Home Office inspectors, I Look into account the fact that Brother Cassian's appointment as headmaster was due to end in June next, when he will be moved to another post; and further that there was no evidence of a consistently punitive attitude. It therefore seemed sufficient to propose to the managers that Brother Cassian should be sent on accumulated leave up to June next. This is leave which he is entitled to but has not taken over a period of some years. This course was agreed to by the managers. I also 211W indicated to them that I would not automatically refuse to approve Brother Cassian for further appointment as headmaster should the question arise.
