I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether Montgomeryshire children are to be excluded from the non-provided school upon the Shropshire border at Llanymynech and sent to Llandysilio, in the school of which village, which is upwards of a mile from Llanymynech, there is no room for them; and whether he will represent to the Shropshire authority the desirability of enlarging the Llanymynech School if it is too small, in order to the maintenance of the arrangement whereby the schools of either county take in the children of either county without charge.

I have communicated with both local authorities concerned suggesting a conference before any decisive action is taken, with a view, if possible, of coming to some arrangement whereby the necessity of excluding any large number of children may be avoided.
