PROTECTION OF VILLAGE SCHOOLS

Tabled by Mr Nigel Evans (Conservative) 40 signatures

The motion

That this House recognises the importance of village schools to their communities; notes that plans to close village schools across the UK represent yet another example of the systematic dismantling of the rural way of life; and calls on the Government to honour its pledge made in 1998 for the protection of village schools and to provide local authorities with the requisite support.
