§ 22. Sir A. V. Harveyasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps are being taken to provide a new primary school at Sutton, Macclesfield, bearing in mind that planning permission has been granted for approximately 170 new dwellings in the parish.
§ Mr. RedheadMy right hon. Friend is now considering whether a new school in Sutton can be approved for the 1968–69 major building programme.
§ Sir A. V. HarveyWill the hon. Gentleman come to an early decision on this matter, since the people of Sutton are alarmed at the prospect of the programme being put back? Will he bear in mind the promises made only eight months ago about additional primary schools to be built in Cheshire, a promise which was also made by the Labour candidate who opposed me at the last election?
§ Mr. RedheadI am sure that the hon. Gentleman will not expect me to enter into election controversies. I assure him that an announcement on this matter will not be long delayed.
