HC Deb 24 May 1960 vol 624 c38W
The Rev. LI. Williams

asked the Minister of Education what cuts he has made in the school-building programme submitted by the Monmouthshire Education Authority for 1960–61.

Sir D. Eccles

For the major primary and secondary school-building programmes of 1960–62, the Monmouthshire Local Education Authority submitted sixteen projects at a total estimated cost of £1,439,780. A new secondary school and a new primary school estimated to cost £200,134 were included in the 1960–61 programme and two new primary schools and two projects at secondary schools estimated to cost £301,640 were included in the 1961–62 programme.

I have also promised to consider the inclusion of four additional projects estimated to cost £358,006 when the proposals reach the tender stage.
