§ Mr. McElhoneTayside regional council has included a proposed new school to replace the present Arbroath high school buildings in its most recent capital expenditure plan, with a start date in 1981–82 and expenditure falling mainly in 1982–83 and 1983–84. Progress with this project will depend on the amounts of capital expenditure on education which the council can be authorised to incur in the period involved and on decisions by the council on priorities within its514W authorisations. Capital guidelines intimated to authorities so far do not extend beyond 1981–82.
