Frondeg Secondary Modern School, Pwllheli

HC Deb 19 April 1962 vol 658 cc675-6

25. Mr. G. Roberts

asked the Minister of Education if he is aware of the over crowding in the Frondeg Secondary Modern School, Pwllheli, Caernarvonshire; and what steps he proposes to take to alleviate the position.

Sir D. Eccles

Yes, Sir. The rebuilding of the school will be considered for inclusion in the major school building programme for 1964–65.

Mr. Roberts

Is the Minister aware that his Answer will cause disappointment in South Caernarvonshire? This school has been overcrowded for many years and classes have to be taken in the corridors. Was not a new secondary modern school promised to the town for this year? Will the right hon. Gentleman review the position with the intention of providing a new school in next year's list?

Sir D. Eccles

I wish I could, but as things stand I have allocated the whole of the money available for next year.
