HC Deb 18 May 1992 vol 208 c16W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will agree to meet a deputation of parents and staff from Hearnville school, Balham, before he considers the application by Wandsworth council to close the school; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Forth

The hon. Member's constituents have already taken the opportunity to make their views known in the usual way by lodging statutory objections to the closure proposal, and by voting for the school to apply for grant-maintained status. My right hon. Friend will of course take all representations into account when he considers the proposals.
