HC Deb 08 December 1960 vol 631 c157W
16. Mr. Mulley

asked the Minister of Education why he has reduced the amount authorised for the school building programme for Sheffield for 1962–63 as compared with the allocations of previous years, and as compared with the total amount authorised for England and Wales.

Sir D. Eccles

The White Paper policy on secondary education is applied to each authority's circumstances which inevitably vary as between area and area and one year and another. Sheffield had exceptionally large programmes in the years 1960–61 and 1961–62.
