HC Deb 24 January 1967 vol 739 cc243-4W
Mr. Hordern

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what extra allocation in the capital building programme for schools he will make to the West Sussex County Council, in view of the proposal to build 4,600 houses in the next five years in Crawley.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The West Sussex Local Education Authority has submitted three primary school projects to meet the needs created by the expansion of Crawley. My right hon. Friend has already authorised it to build an instalment of one of these (at Furnace Green) at a cost of £47,000. The other two, costing £199,000, are being considered for inclusion in the 1968–69 programme which will be announced shortly.
