HC Deb 12 December 1934 vol 296 cc387-8
59. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether any provisions have been made for a new school at the High Heaton estate, Newcastle-on-Tyne?

Captain AUSTIN HUDSON (Lord of the Treasury)

The Board have sanctioned the provision of two schools at the High Heaton estate, for 450 juniors and 450 infants respectively. They are now awaiting final plans for these schools.

Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

While thanking my hon. and gallant Friend for his reply, may I ask if he can indicate how soon these schools can be opened, as there is a pressing need for them in the locality?

Captain HUDSON

My hon. Friend had better put a question down on that point.
