HC Deb 22 February 1963 vol 672 cc100-1W
Lord Balniel

asked the Minister of Education whether he has placed any restriction on the Hertfordshire County Council prohibiting it from using money allocated under the minor capital works programme for the improvement of lavatory accommodation in its schools.

Sir E. Boyle

No, but the Hertfordshire Local Education Authority, in common with others, has to meet many demands upon its minor works allocation and it is not possible for it to do all it would like towards the improvement of lavatory accommodation in schools.

Lord Balniel

asked the Minister of Education whether he will make a statement about the minor capital works programme of Hertfordshire, in particular indicating how the sums of money allocated compare with other counties.

Sir E. Boyle

The value of the minor works programme for Hertfordshire far 1963-64 is £335,000. Only two other county education authorities were allocated programmes of greater value.
