HC Deb 16 February 1976 vol 905 c509W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether any inquiries were made by his Department with the Inner London Education Authority or Islington Borough Council with regard to housing plans in the vicinity of Compton Primary School, Finsbury, between the time of his meeting with the hon. Member for Islington, South and Finsbury on 26th January and the approval by Ministers of the ILEA's application to close the school.

Miss Joan Lestor

Following my meeting with my hon. Friend on 26th January, the figures supplied by the Inner London Education Authority in respect of housing plans in the vicinity of Compton Primary School were re-examined with great care. I can assure him that they were taken fully into account before my right hon. Friend reached his decision in the case.
