HC Deb 06 May 1948 vol 450 cc152-3W
Commander Maitland

asked the Minister of Education how many new schools have been built since August, 1945; and the number of places that have been provided.

Mr. Tomlinson

Sixteen new schools with places for some 4,000 pupils have been built since August, 1945. A much larger number of new schools is under construction, and many of them are now nearly ready. Many other new places have been and are being provided at existing schools but it is not possible without undue labour to say how many.
