HC Deb 22 May 1968 vol 765 c530
34. Mr. Brewis

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many schools have seriously sub-standard buildings; and what would be the estimated cost of modernising or replacing them.

Mr. Millan

Detailed information of this kind is not collected centrally. It is for the education authority, within its investment allocation, to select schools to improve or replace.

Mr. Brewis

Will the hon. Gentleman now concentrate more money on substandard primary schools since we are not to raise the school leaving age in the next two years?

Mr. Millan

As the hon. Member knows, the allocations within the school building allocations have precisely that purpose.
