§ Sir Timothy Kitsonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science on how many occasions local education authorities have tried within two years of their previous application to close primary schools for which his Department had not previously accepted closure.
§ Dr. BoysonThere have been no such proposals since 1 January 1978, although two were resubmitted within three years. I regret that information relating to earlier years could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
