§ 30. Mr. Awberyasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many of the city schools in Bristol were built last century; if he is aware that 92W the conditions are below present-day standards, that many of the schools are overcrowded, and that the capital expenditure requests of the council have always been reduced; and if he will give an assurance that these facts will be given special attention when the next programme requirements are submitted to his Department.
§ Mr. HoggFifty-eight primary and 19 secondary schools were built before 1902.
Four of the seven projects approved for 1965–68 will relieve over-crowding as well as provide for increased numbers.
The condition of school buildings and overcrowding will certainly as always be taken into account when building proposals are being considered.
