§ Queen's Recommendation having been signified—
§ Resolved,
§ That for the purposes of any Act of the present Session relating to education it is expedient to authorise any increase in the sums payable out of moneys provided by Parliament under the Education Acts 1944 to 1967 which may result from provisions of the following descriptions:—
- (a) provisions under which the powers to make grants under the Education Act 1967 section 1, and to make loans under the Education Act 1944 section 105, on the making, to school premises of an aided or special agreement school, of alterations amounting to the establishment of a new school are replaced by powers to make maintenance contributions under the Education Act 1944 section 102, and to make loans under section 105, on an enlargement of such premises that has a substantial effect on the size of the school;
- (b) provisions extending the powers conferred on the Secretary of State under or by virtue of section 7 of the Education (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1948 in relation to sites or buildings not conforming to the prescribed standards for school premises.— [Mr. Gordon Walker.]
