HC Deb 14 June 1974 vol 874 cc653-4W
Mr. Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he is yet in a position to give details of the authorised school building programme for the county of Cheshire in the current financial year.

Mr. Prentice

The 1974-75 school building year runs from 1st July 1974 to 30th June 1975. Circular 8/74, issued by my Department on 12th June, sets out the procedures to be followed for the major school building programme for this period; allocations of resources will be notified to local education authorities shortly. Minor works resources for 1974–75 were allocated during April. The Cheshire authority's allocation is £980,000.
