§ Mr. Pentlandasked the Minister of Education if he will state his reasons for reducing the values of the school building projects submitted for the school building programmes for 1963–64, by the education authorities of the counties of Durham, Cumberland and Northumberland.
§ Sir D. EcclesI approved the most urgently needed projects put forward by these authorities giving in each case a fair share of the total available for new starts in 1963–64 having regard to present priorities. The Durham Authority has submitted further information about some of its proposals as a result of which I shall be increasing its programme.
