The Department have asked the education authority to consider an alternative proposal, and they now await their reply.

Colonel CROOKSHANK:

Will the right hon. Gentleman reconsider the scheme, which was unanimously approved by the authority, in view of the fact that the proposal put forward by the Department was more costly, and entailed a dispersion of School buildings?

My information is that it will be less costly, and will have some advantages which I shall be glad to discuss with my hon. and gallant Friend.
