§ Mr. Profumo£5,230, including a Government grant of £3,927, is being spent on additional classrooms and staff houses, and it is proposed to spend in 1957–58 £6,650, including a Government grant of £4,987, on further European staff quarters. The present small library will shortly be moved to an ordinary classroom until a large library and art rooms have been built. The Beit Trustees have made a grant of £6,400 towards a new domestic science block, which will include a science laboratory until a proper pure science block is needed. A small lighting plant is to be installed in the near future. So far as I am aware, the Member for Education and Social Services has not visited the school yet.
