HC Deb 11 April 2000 vol 348 cc86-7W
Mr. Peter Bradley

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list by parliamentary constituency(a) the primary schools and (b) the secondary schools in Shropshire which (i) closed and (ii) opened in the periods (A) 1979 to 1997 and (B) since May 1997. [118527]

Ms Estelle Morris

Since 1983, the earliest year for which we have information available, the primary and secondary schools which have closed and opened in Shropshire (excluding special schools) are as listed. Some schools have closed to reopen as an amalgamated school; some have closed to facilitate a change in age range. It is not possible, from the data available, to provide this information by parliamentary constituencies.
