HC Deb 15 July 1954 vol 530 cc50-1W
50. Mr. J. T. Hall

asked the Minister of Education the reasons for her refusal to approve the building of a Roman Catholic grammar school in the county borough of Gateshead.

Miss Horsbrugh

I agreed with the local education authority that their building programme for this year and next should be concentrated on providing secondary modern schools needed for the increasing number of senior children in the area.
