HC Deb 08 November 1927 vol 210 cc13-4
5. Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has yet come to any agreement with the Glasgow education authority regarding the number of new schools to be built to meet the growing needs of the city and replace the schools condemned; and what is the nature of the agreement?

Sir J. GILMOUR

A building programme approved by the Glasgow education authority is at present under the consideration of the Department.

March, June, and September for the years 1926 and 1927?

Sir J. GILMOUR

As the statement desired includes a number of figures, I propose, with the hon. Member's permission, to circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. BUCHANAN

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman when he is going to take some practical steps? It is two years since I was told that the matter was under consideration, and I should like to know when there is a chance of a recommendation being made?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I hope a decision will be reached within a week.
