§ 9. Mr. McAddenasked the Minister of Education the total value of projects proposed for inclusion in the 1960–62 school building programmes; the value of the approved programmes; and how this compares with the value of the approved programmes for 1958–60.
§ Sir D. EcclesThe total value of projects proposed for inclusion in the 1960–62 school building programme was £214 million. The value of the approved programme was £115 million. The approved programme for 1958–60 amounted to £97 million.
Thus there was an increase of almost 20 per cent. in the 1960–62 programme over that for 1958–60.
