HC Deb 28 January 1971 vol 810 cc174-5W
Dr. Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what procedure is open to members of the public wishing to register objections to the proposals for reorganisation of the following schools, Windsor Grammar, Windsor High, Dedworth County, Trevelyn County, Royal Free, and Princess Margaret Rose.

Mr. van Straubenzee

The procedure is laid down in Section 13 of the Education Act, 1944 (as amended). Ten or more local government electors and the governors or managers of voluntary schools affected may submit objections to the Secretary of State during a period of two months following the publication of Notices describing any proposals for the enlargement or significant change in character of a maintained school. Proposals for county schools are made by the local education authority, those for voluntary aided schools must be made by the governors, those for voluntary controlled schools by the governors and the authority together. Proposals within the scope of Section 13 cannot be implemented without the Secretary of State's approval.
