Does my right hon. Friend accept that when a school of such age is closed, as is happening in my constituency with St. Aidan's primary school in Bamber bridge, it would be much more sensible to make use of existing property and expand on it rather than build an entirely new school or force people to travel to another school some two miles further away?
