HC Deb 27 February 1964 vol 690 c113W
Mr. Wainwright

asked the Minister of Education if he will give the number of youth clubs completed by local education authorities for the years 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963 and the estimated number for 1964, respectively.

Sir E. Boyle

About 210 projects at a building cost of £1.6 million were completed in 1962 and about 230 projects costing £2.6 million in 1963, as part of the youth service building programme. I expect the value of completions in 1964 to be higher. The great majority of these projects are new youth clubs or youth wings of school premises. In addition, a number of clubs have been built as minor works. Figures for 1960 and 1961 are not available.
