HC Deb 19 November 1969 vol 791 cc1298-9
19. Mr. Adam Hunter

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make extra financial provision for the modernisation or replacement of existing primary schools in Fife

Mr. Millan

No, Sir. Fife education authority's present allocation of investment for school building is enabling some progress to be made with the modernisation and replacement of primary schools.

Mr. Hunter

Will my hon. Friend say what reply he has given to the Parents' Association of St. John's Catholic School in Rosyth? Is he able to give us any hope that in the near future money will be made available to replace this old, out-of-date school?

Mr. Milan

I have had no proposals from the authority for the replacement of this school, so clearly the authority does not consider it to be of sufficient priority in comparison with other projects which it is putting forward, and a reply in that sense has been sent to the Parents' Association.
