HC Deb 25 July 1910 vol 19 c1763
Mr. MITCHELL - THOMSON

asked whether the cost of building the new Duke of York's school at Guston was provided for by loans advanced in contemplation of the immediate sale of the site of the old school; and, if so, what Parliamentary provision is proposed to be made for the cost of the new school, seeing that it has now been decided that the old site shall not at present be sold?

Mr. HALDANE

The cost of the Guston school has been charged finally, year by year, against the Military Works Loan, and, therefore, no question of further Parliamentary provision arises.

Mr. MITCHELL - THOMSON

Were these loans raised on the security of the site?

Mr. HALDANE

No. They were raised by the authority of Parliament on the security of the Government, and had nothing to do with the site.
