§ 54. Mr. du Cannasked the Minister of Education what proposals he has to relieve the present unsatisfactory conditions at St. George's Primary School, Taunton.
§ Sir D. EcclesThis school was reorganised for junior pupils only in 1958 and more than £1,000 has just been spent on improving the sanitary accommodation. A proposal to replace the school has just reached me and I shall 153W consider this together with a large number of other proposals which the education authority consider even more urgent.
§ 55. Mr. du Cannasked the Minister of Education whether, in view of the local disappointment caused by his decision not to include in the 1961–62 further education building programme any of the projects proposed by the local education authority, he will re-consider the second instalment project of the Taunton Technical College with a view to its inclusion in the 1961–62 programme.
§ Sir D. EcclesThe 1961–62 building programme for further education has already been announced and I regret that I cannot add this project to it. I will consider it again shortly when the 1962– 63 programme is being compiled.
