§ Mr. BeggsTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he will make a statement on progress towards resolution of controlled post-primary provision in County Fermanagh for the future.
§ Dr. MawhinneyThe future of controlled post-primary school provision in County Fermanagh is a matter for the Western education and library board. No development proposals relating to controlled post-primary schools in this area have been published. However, at the request of the board of governors of Portora royal school—a voluntary grammar school for boys—the board has published a proposal to the effect that girls should be admitted as day pupils to the school with effect from 1 September 1990. No decision on this proposal can be taken until after the expiry of the statutory two-month objection period which ends on 25 April 1990.
