90. Mr. Piratin

asked the Minister of Education how many new schools and new classrooms have been built since the end of the war; how many of these new schools are permanent and how many temporary prefabricated; and in which areas the new schools have been built.

Mr. Tomlinson

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave the hon. and gallant Member for Horncastle (Commander Maitland) on 6th May. Of the new schools built since 1945, four are in permanent construction, nine are in prefabricated huts and the remaining three are in redundant wartime buildings which have been adapted. Following is a list of the areas in which new schools have been built:

Derbyshire, Staffordshire,
Essex (2), Bath,
Hertfordshire, Birmingham (2),
Kent, Bournemouth,
Lancashire, East Ham,
Middlesex (3), Gateshead.
