§ 18. Mr. MacArthurasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to announce the next school building allocation for Perthshire.
§ Mr. MonroI hope to notify all education authorities fairly soon of their allocations for primary and secondary school building starts in 1974–75. They were informed on 1st March of their allocations for nursery education building starts in that year.
§ Mr. MacArthurDoes my hon. Friend accept that among other local needs the Perth Grammar School must be completed, that the Blairgowrie High School, in which I declare a parental interest, needs extension, that there is a pressing need for the provision of primary school facilities in North Muirton and that, taken together, they show that the next allocation will have to be very substantial indeed?
§ Mr. MonroI know of my hon. Friend's particular concern for Perth Grammar School and Blairgowrie High School from his visits to see me. His representations and the priorities of the education authority will be given careful consideration before my right hon. Friend announces the allocation for 1974–75.
