HC Deb 17 May 1972 vol 837 cc136-8W
Mr. Molloy

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations she has received from parents and organisations of the London Borough of Ealing concerning that Council's proposals for re-organisation of secondary education within the borough.

Mr. van Straubenzee

My right hon. Friend has received some 250 objections, with about 5,500 signatures, to the proposals for county schools. No objections have yet been received to the proposals for the voluntary schools.

Mr. Molloy

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will arrange for her Department to conduct an inquiry into the re-organisation of secondary education proposed by the London Borough of Ealing, in the light of representations made to her by parents and organisations from the London Borough of Ealing.

Mr. van Straubenzee

No. My right hon. Friend will consider the proposals carefully in the light of all the objections and the authority's comments upon them.
