§ 31. Mr. Hoggasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science by what date he expects to ensure that all primary school children are taught in reasonable sized classes in modern schools; and when he proposes to announce his plans to this effect.
§ Mr. CroslandThe Government's plans will aim to achieve both reasonably sized classes and the modernisation of buildings of primary schools as rapidly as possible, bearing in mind other calls on our resources, but to fix specific dates for the achievement of either objective is not practicable.
§ 58. Mr. Hamlingasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what plans he has for reducing primary school classes to a reasonable level, and for replacing unsuitable primary school premises with modern buildings; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. CroslandI would refer my hon. Friend to the Reply I have given today to the right hon. and learned Gentleman the Member for St. Marylebone (Mr. Hogg).
