HC Deb 15 July 1952 vol 503 cc1950-1
5. Mr. Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the total value of the educational building programme at present under construction; the comparable figures for 1950 and 1951; and the estimated figure for 1953.

Mr. Henderson Stewart

The total value of the educational building programme at the end of June in each year was as follows: 1950, £7.7 million; 1951, £10.9 million; 1952, £12.6 million. The comparable figure for 1953 is expected to be about £12.6 million.

Mr. Hamilton

Can the hon. Gentleman indicate what the prospects are for the completion of the programme by the end of this year?

Mr. Stewart

I should be happy to tell the hon. Member, but I think I must ask him to put down a Question on that.
