HC Deb 12 June 1947 vol 438 c143W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Education how many black-listed school buildings were in use as primary and secondary schools, respectively, on 1st April, 1947, as compared with 1st April, 1946.

Mr. Tomlinson

The number of buildings on the 1925 black list which were still in use for school purposes on 1st April, 1947, was 663 as compared with 667 a year previously. Separate figures for primary and secondary schools could not be given without a considerable amount of work, which would not be justifiable since the list is out of date. Local education authorities have been carrying out a fresh survey of school premises in connection with the preparation of their development plans.
