§ Mr. R. RICHARDSONasked the President of the Board of Education what proposals of the Durham County Education Authority to build new elementary and secondary schools he proposes to disallow, in view of the Board's economy proposals and the schools he proposes to delay to a future date?
§ Lord E. PERCYI am inviting this authority to discuss their revised estimates with me. In general, subject to the usual procedure for approval in each case, the Board do not propose to disallow or postpone new projects falling within the categories specially allowed for in Memorandum No. 44, in particular those relating to the replacement of black listed schools which appear to form the bulk of the Durham proposals. The Board's decision on other projects must, as a rule, depend upon knowledge of authorities' full programmes for the years 1927–30, in which years the cost of new projects will mainly fall, and I hope, therefore, that authorities will send their full programmes to the Board in the very near future.
