Our school system was already based on the geographic location of schools to offer the greatest community access. Is it possible that there might be a change of tack by the Government? Can we expect that maybe the Government will ignore these recommendations, in the same way as it ignored the recommendations of another committee of this Assembly when it chose to close the Ainslie Transfer Station? Dr Hector Kinloch will be able to tell us a little about that. I wonder whether he voted in the party room for the closure of the Ainslie Transfer Station.
