Primary Schools (North Devon)

HC Deb 30 June 1986 vol 100 cc381-2W

Mr. Speller

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list the information available to him on the replacement building programme for primary schools in north Devon; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dunn
