§ 49. Mr. Carlisleasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why he has reduced the educational building programme for Cheshire from £4½ million to £2½ million; and what will be the effect of this reduction on the county council's school building programme.
§ Miss BaconThe Cheshire Authority wanted to start projects valued at £4½ million in 1968–69 but we were able to authorise only £2½ million. But this will mean that the most urgent projects will start in this year and I shall of course consider the others when the Authority submit their revised proposals for 1969–70.
§ 50. Mr. Carlisleasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why he has not included in the education building programme for Cheshire a new Roman Catholic-aided primary school for Stockton Heath which has been asked for by the County Education Authority in each of the years 1966–67, 1967–68 and 1968–69.
§ Miss BaconThe Cheshire Authority did not submit the project for the revised 1968–69 building programme.
