94. Mr. Edward M. Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total amount of capital expenditure of an educational nature for which the Corporation of Glasgow originally sought approval in the year 1965–66; and what was the amount of expenditure finally approved by his Department.
§ Mr. RossIn November, 1964 the education authority had in mind school-building starts to the value of some £6 million in 1965–66, but their current programme is based on the approved capital investment allocation of £3 million. Similar allocation arrangements do not apply to further education, in which it is expected that the authority will start projects to the value of just under £1.5 million in the current year.
