THE MP for the Ribble Valley, Mr Nigel Evans, has urged Lancashire County Council to' cast off i t s ‘d is l ik e ’ to Clitheroe Royal Gram mar School and help it
expand. Mr Evans wrote to
Baroness Ashton of Uphol- land, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Early Years and School
Standards,, asking if any funding-was available to build an additional class room at
CR.GS to meet future population growth in
the surrounding area.- She replied that the depart
ment provided funding to local authorities specifically for expanding schools where there are growing pupil num bers and no spare pupil places in the local area. ■ She wrote: "We also encour
age local authorities to expand successful and popular schools : using the significant levels of general formula capital we allocate to them."/ .SpeakingTromWestminis/
ter, Mr Evans’said: " I t has been indicated, to me th a t Lancashire County Council is able to apply for extra fund ing, so that' there can be the extra provision of school places in Clitheroe. He continued "Ribblesdale

the Chief Executive and edu cation directorate of Lan cashire County Council to apply for the funding. He said that schools such as
Clitheroe Royal Grammar should be allowed to grow and
provide extra provision for Ribble Valley children and added: "Those schools have been denied such funding to expand and this has led to many children and parents going through much torment and anguish with the appeals procedure. "There is a solution if only
the council will abide by Gov ernment policy and shed its dislike of Clitheroe Grammar School."

ply does not exist for millions on this great continent. Six million people are starving-in Zimbabwe while their wicked president outra geously shrouds himself in a complete distortion of historical reality. : Outside my hotel, 100 Zimbabwean stooges danced and sang support for Mugabe in a patheti cally staged display of defiance against Britain and Prime Minister Blair. One of many posters
held aloft by the Zim babwean flying stooges read: “The only Zimbab we Blair knows is a toi

Zimbabwean delegate, was affronted when I questioned him over the famine. “Propaganda,” he smiled at me, “it's all propaganda, look at me, am I starving?” No, he looked smart in

parliamentary confer ence in’ Johannesburg to discuss with 200 other world politicians the th re a t to our environ ment and the need to ensure future develop ments were sustainable. These issues are cru

his pin-striped suit and displayed the form that had never knowingly missed a meal. His pres ence at the summit was to defy logic and com passion in the face of a brutal attack on his fel low citizens. At a conference deal
ing with starvation, we had leaders who were personally responsible for inflicting it on their own people and, sadly, they had support from other political leaders. Was this conference
worth a light? Did the Mugabe hijacking of the conference and his pre posterous rabid lecturing derail what this confer ence was all about? Did the £35m. cost, enor mous security, and round-the-clock discus sions achieve anything other than a complete
rainforest destroyed in the name of thick-unread documents and pam
phlets? The answer is, time
days of the summit itself and meandered from room to room and floor to floor of th e giant Sandton conference cen tre trying to make some sense as to what was
I going on. The British HQ was in
the sumptuously mar bled Michael Angelo Hotel. The nerve centre was a busy backroom on the first floor. Civil servants literally
worked 18-hour days preparing briefings, and working on papers for various meetings, bilat erals, multi-laterals, ple nary sessions and'press
| conferences. Networking was the
order of the day, and politicians, world lead ers, non-governmental organisations members, journalists, business leaders and government officials pored over the major issues and nuances of texts and speeches in order, to get to grips with what this summit was all I about.
Africa was the setting, but also the focus, of the
'
I summit. Between two million
and six million people are dying through infect ed water. Sanitation sim
will tell. . I t is vital th a t these
issues are addressed, and now. I t is essential that politicians do discuss cli mate change, renewable energy, water supplies and sanitation. I t is of paramount importance that progress is made on these key issues, swiftly followed by action to bring about a more bal anced and just world. Millions starve, abject
poverty exists cheek by ■ jowl in developing coun tries, the global warming threatens the very future of our planet, and politi cians face the most trau matic decisions to ensure that future generations will have a world worth inhabiting. I will not judge this
summit by the s ta te ments of politicians. Accords will be signed, policy will be determined and much will be claimed for the holding of this vital event. The same was said
, about the Rio summit 10 years ago. Since then, su s tainability of our earth has rolled back wards. We cannot afford another 10 years to declare Johannesburg a complete failure.
