HC Deb 14 July 1960 vol 626 cc129-30W
79. Mr. C. Osborne

asked the Minister of Education why the science block for the King Edward VI Boys Grammar School, Louth, which was included in the 1959–60 estimates, has not been started; when work is expected to start, and to be completed; and if he will make a statement.

Sir D. Eccles

The local education authority tell me that the starting date for this project, which I approved on 13th October last, has been delayed by several factors including a shortage of architectural staff. They now expect to start work in the early autumn. The completion date is not yet known, but most minor projects are completed within six months.
