HC Deb 01 August 1961 vol 645 cc152-3W
73. Miss Herbison

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what delays will be caused in the school building programme as a result of the proposed rephasing

Mr. Maclay

The most urgent work will proceed without any delay, but the start of some less urgent work will have to be deferred for periods which it is not yet possible to forecast.

79. Sir M. Galpern

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what effect Her Majesty's Government's recent measures involving postponement or abandonment of desirable proposals by local authorities will have upon Glasgow Education Authority's programme of new school building, modernisation of old schools, and provision of new junior and technical colleges.

Mr. Maclay

It is unlikely that projects to provide for increased school rolls, new housing schemes or technical education will be affected, but among projects for the modernisation of old school buildings priority will have to be given to those which effect improvements of the kind most urgently needed.
