§ Mr. Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish, in the 65W form of a table, the total value of school building for which each Scottish education authority sought approval in the current year and the amount for which approval has been given.
§ Mr. NobleThe information requested is as follows:
Education Authority Value of 1964–65 School Building Programme as submitted by the Authority (see Note 1) Value of Authorised School Building Programme (see Note 2) £000 £000 Counties Aberdeen 458 401 Angus 69 69 Argyll 527 425 Ayr 1,478 1,000 Banff 220 180 Berwick 60 30 Bute 70 83 Caithness 446 178 Clackmannan 442 238 Dumfries 460 250 Dunbarton 1,212 1,272 East Lothian 778 17 Fife 1,835 1,000 Inverness 549 432 Kincardine 84 51 Kirkcudbright 366 187 Lanark 3,135 2,105 Midlothian 1,352 912 Moray and Nairn 1,642 171 Orkney 200 100 Peebles 19 — Perth and Kinross 857 450 Renfrew 2,925 1,500 Ross and Cromarty 690 400 Roxburgh 22 26 Selkirk 45 45 Stirling 475 238 Sutherland 221 100 West Lothian 1,471 790 Wigtown 45 — Zetland 245 138 Burghs Aberdeen 1,015 51 Dundee 678 374 Edinburgh 820 755 Glasgow 8,656 2,834 NOTES:
1. Some authorities submitted proposals in scale with provisional allocations made in October, 1963; others did not. The figures quoted are not therefore all on the same footing.
2. This column gives the values of authorised programmes, in terms of named projects approved for starting, as drawn up at the beginning of the financial year 1964–65. The figures do not include any subsequent changes made in the projects, at the instance of the authorities, or in their values.

§ Mr. Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish the names of the local education authorities who have expressed dissatisfaction with their capital allocation in respect of school-building during the current year.
§ Mr. NobleNo. A number of authorities expressed varying degrees of dissatisfaction over the provisional allocations for the current financial year, but the points of difficulty were in many cases resolved by the time final building programmes were settled. It would be misleading to publish any list.
