§ 40. Mr. MACKINDERasked the President of the Board of Education whether, as a result of Memorandum 44, he intends to prevent the Norwich education authority from having a new secondary school to replace the old secondary school for girls, owing to the actual contract not yet having been accepted?
§ Lord E. PERCYThe authority have informed me that they have decided to postpone this project for one year, and have included it in their programme as a matter to be dealt with in 1927–28.
§ Mr. MACKINDERWill the right hon. Gentleman say if this decision is the result of Memorandum 44?
§ Lord E. PERCYI really cannot say, but if the hon. Member saw the number of urgent secondary school projects, he would not be so ready to press the claim of a particular secondary school for this year.
§ Mr. MACKINDERHas the right hon. Gentleman any knowledge of the number of secondary schools which would have been built or would have been projected but for this circular?
