§ 63. Mr. Murrayasked the Minister of Education if he is aware that two very important and useful buildings at the Alderman Wraith Grammar School, Spennymoor, have not yet been completed, and that nearly 600 students attend this school and are in great need of these buildings; how many years it is since the foundations were laid; what had been the actual cost of these buildings when operations ceased; and when it is expected that these buildings will be completed.
§ Mr. TomlinsonYes. Work on these buildings began in February, 1939, and was stopped 11 months later because of shortage of essential materials. The cost of the work done by then was approximately £5,000. I have been unable to include the project in the current building programme, since there are more urgent jobs to be done.
