HC Deb 22 March 1965 vol 709 cc31-2W
Mr. Randall

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list the projects, and their estimated costs, requested by the Gateshead local educational authority for the five major building programmes from 1962–63 to 1966–67, announced between 1959 to 1964, together with the number and estimated cost which were approved for the same period; and whether he will review this and restore any cuts when he announces the future building programme.

Mr. Crosland

A list of projects sub mitted by the authority is given below. It includes those for 1967–68 since the authority submitted a single list for 1965–68. Nine were approved totalling £849,888 including one for 1967–68. I shall consider the needs of the Gateshead authority carefully when reviewing the 1967–68 programme and examining later programmes.
