HC Deb 14 July 1910 vol 19 c746W
Mr. A. H. SCOTT

asked the Prime Minister what steps he proposes to take to give effect to the opinion expressed by him on 18th March, 1909, that the length of time which is at present permitted for the repayment of loans raised for the erection of school buildings is very much too short, and that the life of the schools, particularly those built in these days according to modern requirements, is very much underestimated when it is treated as having come to an effective end at the close of thirty yars?

The PRIME MINISTER

As I informed my hon. Friend the Member for the Middleton Division yesterday, the normal period will be extended to fifty years.
