HC Deb 11 March 1965 vol 708 c139W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is aware that his recent announcement, cancelling the arrangements whereby projects up to£2,000 could be undertaken outside the general allocation, will reduce from£60,000 to£34,000 the amount already approved in principle by the Huddersfield Education Committee for the minor works programme for 1965–66; and if he will allow local education authorities to proceed with their minor works programme for 1965–66 where already approved.

Mr. Crosland

No. The Huddersfield Authority's allocation for 1965–66 represents a fair share of the limited total minor works programme.
