HC Deb 11 February 1965 vol 706 c117W
54. Mr. Allason

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why he is introducing Government control over capital education projects costing less than £2,000.

Mr. Prentice

My right hon. Friend is reintroducing the procedure operative up to October, 1961, because the existing arrangements have made it difficult to ensure a sensible distribution between local education authorities of the limited resources available for minor works as a whole.
