§ 11. Mr. Mawbyasked the Minister of Education whether he will now give the starting date for the new school to replace the King Edward VI Grammar School at Totnes.
§ Sir D. EcclesThe authority has not included this project, which covers also the replacement of the girls' grammar school, in the proposals for 1963–65. I understand, however, that it will put it in its next submission, and I will then consider it on its merits.
§ Mr. MawbyDoes my right hon. Friend realise that the citizens of Totnes will be very dissatisfied with that reply, because another generation of children at this grammar school will be condemned to receive their education in very difficult circumstances in totally inadequate accommodation?
§ Sir D. EcclesI agree that the school has poor buildings, but it is for the authority to decide its priorities.
§ Mr. MawbyOwing to the unsatisfactory nature of the reply, I give notice that I shall raise the matter on the Adjournment at the earliest opportunity.
