HC Deb 03 February 1976 vol 904 c576W
Mr. Rost

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if, following representations made to him by local parents and teachers, he will reconsider his decision not to authorise the provision of sixth forms at Western Mere, Breaston and Friesland, Sandiacre.

Miss Joan Lestor

The Education Acts contain no provision enabling my right hon. Friend to reconsider a decision he has taken under Section 13 of the 1944 Act. The Derbyshire authority would have to publish fresh proposals for these schools before he could reconsider the matter.
