Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Education. – in the House of Commons on 18 April 1923.
The Board gave careful consideration to all the circumstances of this ease before determining, upon the application of the local education authority, that the school was unnecessary within the meaning of Section 19 (1) of the Education Act, 1921. My right hon. Friend is satisfied that the attendance of the 10 children in question at neighbouring schools will not involve great inconvenience or detriment to their education, and he regrets he is unable to reopen the matter.
