HC Deb 09 May 1968 vol 764 c117W
35. Mr. Tudor Watkins

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will now make a statement on a scheme for comprehensive education under his circular dealing with secondary education covering the Brecon, Crickhowell, Devynnog Hay and Talgarth districts at Penlan, Brecon.

Miss Bacon

The Breconshire Education Authority has submitted a scheme for the reorganisation of secondary education in this area by the establishment of a seven-form entry mixed 11–18 comprehensive school at Brecon and a three-form entry mixed 11–16 comprehensive school at Gwernyfed. My Department has asked the authority to publish statutory notices under Section 13 of Education Act, 1944. We shall not make a decision until this has been done and any objections which may be made have been considered.
