HC Deb 19 March 1963 vol 674 c47W
Mr. Johnson Smith

asked the Minister of Education whether he is able to announce building programmes for the colleges of advanced technology for 1964–65 and 1965–66.

Sir E. Boyle

In 1964–65, I shall be authorising starts of major and minor building projects in the colleges of advanced technology to the value of £4 million. Subject to review in the light of the economic situation, I shall authorise starts to the same value in 1965–66. This is double the amount of work authorised to start in 1962–63 and 1963–64, and should enable the colleges to make effective progress with their expansion plans.
