HC Deb 14 July 1960 vol 626 c130W
82. Mr. Driberg

asked the Minister of Education if he is aware of the continuing danger to children living on the Thames View estate, Barking, who have to cross the A13 road on their way to and from school; if, in view of this danger, he will reconsider his decision that a junior school for Thames View cannot be included in the 1960–62 programme; and if he will give an assurance that the Government's return to a restrictive credit policy will not cause any further delay in the provision of this school.

Sir D. Eccles

Measures have been taken to meet the danger. Some of these children cross this road by a subway, others by special transport, and others at a crossing supervised by a traffic warden. I cannot: include the new school in the 1960–62 programme, but it will be considered, in relation to other claims, for inclusion in a later programme.
