28. Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the earliest date on which he expects the rebuilding of Orleans County Secondary School, Twickenham, to start; and whether it can be brought forward before the 1967–68 programme.
§ Mr. ChatawayIt has not been possible to include this project in the school building programme for 1965–67. My right hon. Friend will in due course consider it for inclusion in 1967–68.
Mr. Gresham CookeWill my hon Friend tell his right hon. Friend that the site for this school was acquired from the Post Office about three years ago, and that therefore they are able to proceed from the point of view of having a site? This school is in very old and congested buildings, and could not my hon. Friend bring this project forward earlier than 1966?
§ Mr. ChatawayMy right hon. Friend has been fully informed of the need for a new school in this case, and will bear in mind what my hon. Friend has said, but this case was not so urgent as a number of others in other parts of the country.
