HC Deb 29 June 1972 vol 839 c391W
40. Sir G. de Freitas

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what requests have been made to her, and what are her plans for action thereon, for increasing the number of secondary school places in the East Midlands generally and in the Kettering and Corby areas of the Northants Local Education Authority in particular.

Mr. van Straubenzee

All local education authorities submitted proposals to my right hon. Friend during the winter for major school building projects to start in 1974–75. The programmes announced in April and May included 6,060 new secondary places in the East Midlands, of which 390 will be in the Kettering Divisional Area.
