HC Deb 10 November 1949 vol 469 c153W
108. Brigadier Thorp

asked the Minister of Education if he will make a a statement about the school canteen at Embleton, Northumberland; and when the building of the canteen will begin.

Mr. Tomlinson

The erection of this canteen has unfortunately been long delayed by changes in the planning of the project. I regret that the economy measures now decided upon mean that the building cannot be erected for the time being. In the circumstances I shall be prepared to consider exceptionally any arrangement which the authority can make to provide meals without building work.
