§ 18. Dr. Kingasked the Minister of Education how many new schools have been proposed by local education authorities in their first-year building programme for replacing all-age schools; and how many of these he has approved.
§ Sir D. EcclesOut of 152 secondary school projects for rural reorganisation proposed by education authorities for inclusion in the 1955–56 school building programme, I have so far included 146.
§ Dr. KingIs the Minister still satisfied that the five-year plan which he has in mind will be carried through, and that the new directives that the Government have issued will not interfere with that plan?
§ Sir D. EcclesI see no reason why it should not be completed.
