§ 32. Mr. Chorltonasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education how much the new technical school at present under construction in Bury, Lancashire, is expected to cost; what grant his Department will make; also, with the declining trade, what number of students are allowed for ten years ahead; and whether any attempt has been made to obtain the necessary education required with other education authorities, and so save the cost of the new school and its effect on the rates?
Mr. LindsayThe cost of the new technical college at Bury is expected to 2410 amount to about £120,000, half of which will be met by grant from the Board. My Noble Friend is satisfied that the proposed accommodation is no more than is required to meet the needs of the future, as the college will be the centre for technical and commercial education for an important industrial area, with some 200,000 inhabitants. In formulating their proposals, the local education authority have had regard to the need for co-operation with other authorities, and for avoiding any overlap in the provision of technical education.
