That this House congratulates the parents of the pupils at Croxteth Community Comprehensive School, Liverpool, on decisively rejecting moves to have the school opt out of local authority control; believes their sound commonsense is to be commended; recognises their 59 per cent. vote against opting out to be an answer to those who attempted to bring pressure to bear upon them by raising unsubstantiated fears and false promises; thanks all those, including the Liverpool branch of the National Union of Teachers, who campaigned to keep the school under local democratic control; and wishes the school well in the future.

That this House welcomes the announcement of the commencement of work on the West Mon Community Hospital on 25th April but regrets that the contract does not include the provision of an ambulance station on the site; notes the poor facilities of the current location in Holyhead; and calls on the Welsh Office to ensure that the North Wales Ambulance Trust is given sufficient resources to enable a new ambulance station to be accommodated on the site prior to completion of the work on the hospital building.

That this House recalls the struggle which took place in the years 1981 to 1983 to ensure the continued survival of the Croxteth Community Comprehensive School in a deprived part of Liverpool; remembers that the combined forces of parents, staff, pupils and local residents were successful in that struggle and that the issue was finally resolved through the ballot box by the election of a city council sympathetic to the sensible demands of the electors; deplores the current campaign aimed at removing the school from local education authority control; believes that the parents of pupils at the school will be more than aware of the Tory Government's reputation for cutting rather than expanding services whether it be in education or in health and community services; and trusts that the parents, mindful of the parsimony of the Government towards the needs of the City of Liverpool, will now now be prepared to pass the school into the hands of a Tory Secretary of State for Education who has failed adequately to fund Liverpool schools which have opted-out and who could close the school at the stroke of a pen without recourse to the ballot box.
