HC Deb 09 July 1959 vol 608 c156W
81. Mr. Fitch

asked the Minister of Education how many local education authorities have asked him to receive deputations to discuss their building programmes for the two years 1960–61 and 1961–62.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

Seventeen.

82. Mr. Fitch

asked the Minister of Education by how much the total expenditure for the educational building programme for the years 1960–61 and 1961–62 was greater than the total allocated by his Department for the current year 1959–60.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

The value of major projects of all kinds started in 1959–60 will be about £68 million of which about £46 million will be for primary and secondary schools. I expect that in each of the two following years the figure will rise to about £86 million, of which £55 million in 1960–61 and about £60 million in 1961–62 will be for primary and secondary schools.
