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.
