HC Deb 08 July 1971 vol 820 c1501
10. Rear-Admiral Morgan-Giles

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what are her plans for the rebuilding of the Western Primary School, Winchester.

The Under-Secretary of State for Education and Science (Mr. William van Straubenzee)

My right hon. Friend is considering the Hampshire Local Education Authority's proposal to replace this school in the programme of work to start in 1973–74. She hopes to announce details of the programme shortly.

Rear-Admiral Morgan-Giles

Does the Minister agree that Winchester has a not inconsiderable name in educational circles and that the conditions in this primary school call for urgent action?

Mr. van Straubenzee

Yes, Sir, I gladly accept that. The very fact that the project is under close consideration for 1973–74 gives the answer to my hon. and gallant Friend.
