HC Deb 01 December 1987 vol 123 c523W
21. Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will initiate a study on the effects of his Department's opt-out proposals on the use of schools in rural areas as community centres.

Mr. Dunn

No. Where a school which allows its premises to be used by the wider community seeks to opt out from local authority control there is no reason why community access should not be preserved.
