School Closures (Hansard, 16 February 1982)

§ 29. Mr. Hoyle
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many schools, which have been the subject of a proposal for closure under section 12 of the Education Act which was refused, have been the subject of a further such proposal within the following five years.

§ Dr. Boyson
This information is not readily available from the Department's records and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

§ Mr. Beith
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish in the Official Report the names of the primary schools that closed in 1981.

§ Dr. Boyson

Listed below in order of decision during 1981 are the 183 primary schools for which statutory proposals were approved by my right hon. Friend and his predecessor, or were determined by local education authorities under section 12(7) of the Education Act 1980.
