HC Deb 13 November 1952 vol 507 c93W
128. Mr. Remnant

asked the Minister of Education what is the anticipated total cost of the Wokingham Modern Secondary School; and how much this will represent per pupil.

Mr. Pickthorn

The gross cost of the school on tender was £166,344, which represents a net cost per place of £215 5s. 4d. Until the final accounts are made up, my right hon. Friend cannot say what the total cost will be.

129. Mr. Remnant

asked the Minister of Education what is the average cost per place in modern secondary schools completed in the last three years or other convenient period.

Mr. Pickthorn

Practically all the secondary modern schools which have been completed in the last three years were started in 1949 or earlier. The average net cost per place on tender of schools of this type started in 1949 was £320.
