§ Mr. Edenasked the Minister of Education what school building he has authorised the Bournemouth Education Authority to start in 1964–65; and what projects are already under way.
§ Sir E. BoyleI have not been able to include any project from Bournemouth in the 1964–65 major school building programme. St. Katherine's Church of England Primary School was included in the programme for 1962–63 but has not yet started.
§ Mr. Edenasked the Minister of Education whether he is aware of the urgent 197W need for an extension to the Bournemouth School for Boys; and whether, in view of the fact that he has been unable to authorise a building programme in 1964–65 to the extent of £965,000, he has any alternative proposals for meeting this need.
§ Sir E. BoyleI know that the accommodation at this school falls short of requirements. But I have had to balance its needs against those of other schools elsewhere, and I have decided that other projects are more urgent.
§ Mr. Edenasked the Minister of Education how many private fee-paying and grant-assisted schools, recognised by him as efficient, are available for boys and girls in the area covered by the Bournemouth Education Authority.
§ Sir E. BoyleFour boys' and four girls' independent schools and one direct-grant grammar school for girls.
