HC Deb 22 July 1965 vol 716 c262W
Mr. Edward M. Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give the capital value of new school buildings on which work is expected to commence in the year 1965–66; and what were the comparable figures for the years 1963–64 and 1964–65.

Mr. Ross

Starts programmed for the current financial year are expected to amount to £17 million in terms of the allocations intimated to education authorities by the previous Government in August 1964. The total value of projects actually started in 1963–64 was £20.1 million and in 1964–65 £17.4 million.
