HC Deb 22 May 1952 vol 501 c74W
81. Mr. F. Willey

asked the Minister of Education which new schools are expected to be completed in Sunderland during the year 1952-53.

Miss Horsbrugh

Two secondary modern schools at Thorney Close, and probably also two primary schools at Thorney Close and two at Pennywell East.

82. Mr. Oldfield

asked the Minister of Education how many new schools have been built since the war; and how many of these have been built as a result of war damage, increase of the birth rate, building of new housing estates, and closure of blacklist schools, respectively.

Miss Horsbrugh

Between April, 1945, and 1st February last, 814 new primary and secondary schools were completed. I regret that the details asked for in the second part of the Question are not available.
