§ 53. Sir D. Rentonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the present shortage of school places; and what shortage is expected in 12 months' time.
§ Mr. PrenticeI know of no children who are out of school for lack of a school place. Current building programmes are designed to deal with the most urgent needs for new building in each area and also include an element of replacement for school buildings which are seriously deficient by modern standards.
