§ Mr. Roy Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Wales if, in view of the unemployment position in Newport, Monmouthshire, employment exchange area, he will now authorise the bringing forward of schemes already submitted for his approval by the local education authority for the improvement or replacement of maintained primary and secondary schools in the area.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasI have already added to the 1971–72 starts programme, phase II, of St. Joseph's R.C. High School, Newport, at a cost of about £460,000. I am considering a request by the local education authority that two primary schools should be included in the 1973–74 starts.
