§ 91. Mr. Gowerasked the Minister of Education if he will state the number of new schools completed in Wales during 1957–58, the number of new places provided, the number of new schools authorised in Wales for 1958–59, and the number of school places to be provided.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydThirty-two new schools were completed in 1957–58 and 14,625 new places were taken into use. Comparable estimates for 1958–59 are 30 and 15,355, respectively. In addition, work has started, or can be started so far as my Department is concerned, on 38 new schools and some 20,000 new places which will not be ready for use by the end of March, 1959. The figures for new places under each head include some places to be provided by extensions or improvements as distinct from new schools.
