HC Deb 27 January 1955 vol 536 c49W
81. Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Education if he is now in a position to state whether the proposed special school for handicapped children in New-castle-under-Lyme will be included in the 1955–56 building programme.

Mr. Vosper

My right hon. Friend has now heard from the Staffordshire Local Education Authority that they have arranged for a review of the need for special school places for delicate and physically handicapped children in Newcastle-under-Lyme. The school will not be included in the 1955–56 building programme, and its inclusion among the authority's proposals for 1956–57 will depend upon the result of the review.
