HC Deb 09 December 1988 vol 143 cc342-3W
Sir Michael McNair-Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science which authority will now be responsible for Enborne Lodge special school at Newbury; and if he will make a statement about the school's future as a place of education for young people from London boroughs with special needs.

Mr. Butcher

My right hon. Friend will decide the allocation of responsibility for Enborne Lodge special school and other ILEA residential special schools in the light of discussions currently taking place with all the councils concerned. The school will continue to provide education for young people from inner London with special needs whichever authority takes responsibility for it.
