HC Deb 25 July 1957 vol 574 c84W
Sir S. Summers

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education why the Pond Park Primary School in Chesham was removed by him from the building programme of 1958–59, despite top priority accorded to it by the local divisional Executive.

Sir E. Boyle

The Buckinghamshire Local Education Authority did not give this project the highest priority when submitting to my noble Friend their proposals for the 1958–59 building programme, though they have asked him to reconsider his decision not to approve it. The purpose of the proposal is to improve conditions in existing primary schools. While it is highly desirable that this should be achieved as soon as possible, my noble Friend regrets that he cannot yet make resources available to this end.
