HC Deb 17 November 1970 vol 806 c391W
Mr. Orbach

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why he is closing West Bank School, Didsbury Road, Stockport; and where the boys now attending the school are to be sent.

Mr. Carlisle

The school is not being closed but is to be converted into a school for girls to meet a shortage of places for girls in the North West. The boys now at the school are being transferred to other schools in the North West or, if ready for release, are being allowed to go home.
