HC Deb 11 February 1999 vol 325 c337W
Mr. Burns

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what applications he has received from the Governors of Rainsford School, Chelmsford, to sell part of their school playing fields. [70359]

Ms Estelle Morris

My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State, has not received any application from the governing body of Rainsford School to sell part of its playing fields. The governing body is aware that it must obtain my right hon. Friend's consent before it can sell any land, including school playing fields.
