St. Faith's School, Winchester

HC Deb 20 January 1992 vol 202 c38W

Mr. John Browne

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the status of St. Faith's school, Winchester, with regard to grant funding for expansion.

Mr. Fallon

I understand that the governors of St. Faith's currently plan to carry out improvements to the school in two phases, and that the costs are expected to be within the limit for minor works improvement projects at voluntary-aided and special agreement schools—£250,000. The Government have allocated £334,000 for such work in Hampshire in 1992–93. It is for Hampshire local education authority, in consultation with the governors and the diocesan authorities, to determine the allocation of these resources locally.
