Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will make a statement on the plans for the extension of Clowne Secondary School in the constituency of Bolsover.

Mr. van Straubenzee

My right hon. Friend has approved the Authority's proposal to use some of their allocation in 1971–72 for raising the school leaving age to extend Clowne County Secondary School by 240 places at a cost of £134,500.

Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will make a statement on plans for replacing Clowne Primary and Junior Schools in the constituency of Bolsover.

Mr. van Straubenzee

A proposal for a new seven-class school to replace the Clowne Infants School on a new site has been submitted by the Authority as their third priority for the 1973–74 primary replacements programme which is now under consideration in the Department. No proposal has been submitted for the Junior School but it has been listed by the Authority among their pre-1903 schools needing replacement or improvement.
