HC Deb 28 November 1963 vol 685 cc102-3W
59. Mr. Owen

asked the Minister of Education what steps are being taken to meet the urgent requirement for improved grammar schools for both boys and girls, at Morpeth, Northumberland.

Sir E. Boyle

As the hon. Member is aware, new school buildings for both the girls and the boys were included in the major school building programmes for 1961–62 and 1963–64 respectively. I understand that the local education authority hopes shortly to submit its final plans for the buildings to my Department.
