HC Deb 07 June 1962 vol 661 c83W
37. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Education if he will reconsider his decision to reduce expenditure on school projects in Leyton from an estimated £40,500 to an estimated £3,800, in view of the increase which has taken place in the school population since the original cuts were made in the school-building programme in 1959–60 and 1960–61, as well as that which has occurred since the recent decision.

Mr. K. Thompson

My right hon. Friend is satisfied that within the limits of the resources available for minor works, the Essex Authority has had its fair share. Within this share the authority decides how much is available for Leyton projects.
