asked the Minister of Education whether she is aware that a school in Penketh, Lancashire, was erected in 1939 for senior scholars living in adjacent areas; that it was adapted for N.F.S. purposes and vacated in December, 1944; and whether she can now indicate when this modern school will be re-opened for the education of the children of those living in this locality, which has increased in population.

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on 25th October to the hon. Member for Preston (Mr. Sunderland), a copy of which I am sending him. Revised plans and a specification were received in my Department on 20th November and are now under consideration. It is not possible for me to give, any indication as to the date of completion of the building.
