HC Deb 30 January 1987 vol 109 c404W
Mr. Alton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will direct the Liverpool education authority under section 68 of the Education Act 1944 to consult the governors, parents and staff, in accordance with the Education (No. 2) Act 1986 before completion of the sale of the Morrison wing of Calderstones comprehensive school to a private developer.

Mr. Dunn

There is no provision in the Education (No. 2) Act 1986 requiring a local education authority to consult the governors, parents or staff of a school before parts of the school premises are taken out of use.

Mr. Alton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received about the sale of the Morrison wing of Calderstones comprehensive school, Liverpool; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dunn

My right hon. Friend has received two letters from the hon. Member enclosing letters from his constituents. Calderstones comprehensive school is at present operating on a split site and I understand that the Liverpool education authority is considering the disposal of the Morrison wing in order to rationalise on to one site.
