HC Deb 04 March 1926 vol 192 c1601
32. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the President of the Board of Education if he has reached a decision with regard to the final plan and estimates submitted to him for the erection of the Old Basford Bar Lane Central School, Nottingham?

Lord E. PERCY

I should be prepared at once to approve this project, so far as it relates to the replacement of unsatisfactory accommodation in existing schools, but the project as submitted appears to be based on assumptions as to a probable increase in school population for which no sufficient evidence has, as yet, been supplied to me. In these circumstances, I should be glad to see the authority's programme for the years 1927–30 before deciding the question.
