§ 5. Mr. Morleyasked the Minister of Education what amount of school building has been sanctioned and is being proceeded with for the year 1951; and how many additional school places it will provide when completed.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe programme of major school building projects approved for the financial year 1951–52 will provide about 190,000 places at an estimated cost of £40 million.
§ Mr. Morleyis my right hon. Friend reasonably hopeful that, by 1953, places will be provided for the 1,150,000 additional children who will then require them?
§ Mr. TomlinsonYes, Sir.
§ Mr. Angus MaudeCan the Minister say to what extent the current year's programme has been complicated by arrears of last year's, and whether they have been made up?
§ Mr. TomlinsonThat is another question.
