HC Deb 04 March 1965 vol 707 c293W
84. Mr. Cooper

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why he has reduced the sum available to Redbridge Council for minor and mini-minor improvements for 1965–66 to £60,000; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Prentice

The Redbridge allocation for minor works in 1965–66 represents a fair share of the total sum available for distribution. This will be a sizeable increase over the sum available for minor works in the Redbridge Area for 1964–65.

Mr. Norwood

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he received a communication from the Director of Education for the City of Norwich concerning the minor works allocation for that Authority during 1965–66; and what reply he sent.

Mr. Crosland

I received the local education authority's letter on 25th February and am sending the hon. Member a copy of my reply.
