§ 65. Mr. GOULDasked the President of the Board of Education whether he can give an estimate of the proposed expenditure as put forward by the Somerset County Education Committee under their recent proposals; what amount is needed for council schools; and what amount for other schools?
§ Sir C. TREVELYANThe Somerset Local Education Authority propose to spend a capital sum of about £213,000 during the three years 1930–33 on sites and buildings for public elementary schools provided by them. Expenditure on other schools does not fall on the Authority, but they estimate that an expenditure of some £135,000 on these schools may be needed in order to carry out the scheme of re-organisation which has been prepared by the Authority.
