HC Deb 17 November 1938 vol 341 c1084W
Mr. E. J. Williams

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether, in view of the special circumstances at Bridgend and district, he will authorise the building of the girls' secondary school; the plans of which have been before the board for two years, and which is listed first for construction by the Glamorgan Education Committee?

Mr. Lindsay

The authority have been asked to defer this building project for the time being so that they may make as much progress as possible before 1940 with the work which will be required in connection with the reorganisation of the elementary schools. It will be open to the authority when submitting next year's building programme to call attention to any special circumstances which appear to justify the approval of any particular project under the terms of Circular 1464, a copy of which I am sending the hon. Member.
