HC Deb 10 March 1965 vol 708 cc115-6W
133. Mr. Palmer

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the expected effect of the change in the financial system for schools' minor works allocations on the development plans of educational authorities.

Mr. Crosland

The revised procedure will allow authorities to determine their own priorities within their minor works allocations, and will bring about a fairer distribution of the resources available.
