§ 58. Mr. Kelleyasked the Minister of Education what decisions he has made, following his recent visit to the Don Valley, to improve the standard of school accommodation in that area.
§ Mr. ChatawayMy right hon. Friend visited the Don Valley to see for him-self the working conditions of some of the schools and not specifically in connection84W with the school building programme of the West Riding Local Education Authority. He had already added two major projects in the Don Valley, valued together at £372,000, to the West Riding's 1964–65 programme and he is awaiting firm proposals from the Authority for a third project to which he will give sympathetic consideration. He has also recently approved a minor works allocation for the West Riding for 1964–65 of £425,000, an increase of £55,000 over the allocation for 1963–64 and was glad to learn that conditions at one of the schools which he visited would be alleviated by a minor works project which the West Riding Authority intend to carry out.
