HC Deb 17 December 1953 vol 522 cc82-3W
59. Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Education if, in view of the greater availability of building resources, she will now expand the school-building programme.

Miss Horsbrugh

As I have already announced, the value of the major primary and secondary school building projects in the programme to be started in 1954–55 is about the same as that for the current year and I cannot at present increase it.

The allocation for minor educational building projects for 1954–55 is about 20 per cent. more than that for the current year.
