25. Mr. Kenneth Lindsay

asked the Minister of Education how many local education authorities, distinguishing counties and county boroughs, have submitted their development plans to her Department.

Miss Wilkinson

Complete development plans have been submitted by four county authorities and 15 county borough authorities. In addition, seven county authorities have submitted an installment; of the plan. One hundred and nineteen authorities have asked for extensions of time under Section 11 (1) of the Act.

Mr. Lindsay

I realise that certain authorities are asking for extra time; can my right hon. Friend tell me whether I am right in presuming that this will not delay any immediate building?

Miss Wilkinson

No, Sir.
