§ Mr. RaisonThe Conway Cadet School Company, which provided the premises in which this school is conducted, has been registered as a charity ; and officers of my Department have recently given informal advice to representatives of the company about the disposal of its interest in the premises when the local education authority ceases to maintain the school.
