HC Deb 07 March 1966 vol 725 c424W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has settled the level of the school building programme for the period 1967 to 1970.

Mr. Redhead

Yes. My right hon. Friend intends to authorise annual major programmes for schools (including special schools) and minor works programmes as follows:

1967–68 £120 million
1968–69 £138 million
1969–70 £138 million

He will very soon be inviting local education authorities to submit their proposals for 1967–68 (the first instalment of which has already been allocated), and shortly afterwards for 1968–69.
