HC Deb 16 March 1964 vol 691 cc137-8W
Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish details showing the total value of the school building programme for which Departmental approval was recently sought by each local education authority, the actual amount approved, what this represented as a percentage of the amount of the original application, and the total school population of each local education authority.

Mr. Noble

Some education authorities drew up their school building programmes for 1964–65 in scale with the provisional allocations of investment of which I had notified them earlier; others did not. Any comparison of authorities' proposals would, therefore, be misleading. Final allocations have still to be settled for a few authorities, but when this has been done I shall circulate a list of the allocations in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
