HC Deb 25 October 1945 vol 414 cc2332-3W
Mr. K. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Education whether priority is now given to complete the building of schools which have remained partially constructed since 1939.

Miss Wilkinson

I have informed local education authorities in Circular 64, issued on 27th September, a copy of which I am sending the hon. Member, that any particular casein which an authority thinks that provision for raising the school age can be made most satisfactorily and economically by completing a building left unfinished owing to war conditions should be submitted to the Ministry without delay in order that they may consider it in relation to the allocation of building labour and materials.
