HC Deb 26 July 1962 vol 663 c188W
Mr. Prentice

asked the Minister of Education what steps he is taking to ensure that local technical colleges and similar institutions will provide enough extra places this autumn to provide the large number of school leavers with comparable opportunities to those who have left school in recent years.

Sir E. Boyle

In making their plans for the coming session the local education authorities have, I know, had the hon. Member's point well in mind. This year major building projects to the value of £17 million are Likely to be completed and these will be supplemented by a good number of minor projects and, where necessary, emergency provision by, for example, the renting of premises.
