§ 69. Mr. Fernyhoughasked the Minister of Education to what extent the 60W recent Government announcement that capital expenditure in the public sector would be restricted next year to this year's level will affect the building programme as far as schools are concerned in general; and whether it will have any particular effect in Durham.
§ Sir D. EcclesThe hon. Member need have no cause for anxiety since the major school building programme in England and Wales will not be affected. There may be a small reduction in minor works in 1961–62 which I expect to be made up in 1962–63.
