HC Deb 21 June 1967 vol 748 cc296-7W
Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is his present policy relating to the establishment of new youth clubs; and in particular if he will make the necessary finance available to permit the Leicestershire County Council to establish one at Foxton, forthwith.

Mr. Denis Howell

Where the establishment of a new youth club involves building work costing more than £2,500, the project is submitted by the local education authority for inclusion in the annual Youth Service building programme. Where the cost is below £2,500, as I understand is likely to be the case here, the local education authority are free to proceed within their allocation for minor capital works.
