Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Minister of Education what he estimates would be the approximate additional annual cost, including that involved in school building and payment of extra teachers, if classes in primary as well as secondary schools were reduced to a maximum of 30.

§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydI estimate that the additional annual expenditure entailed in reducing all classes to a maximum of 30 by 1965 would be of the order of £200 million. In addition, some £140 million (excluding capital expenditure on training colleges) would have to be spent on training the additional teachers required.
