HC Deb 26 June 1967 vol 749 c42W
Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what site he has approved for the new comprehensive school at Petersburn, Airdrie; what is the estimated school roll; what is the estimated cost; and what starting and finishing dates he has approved for this project.

Mr. Ross

Lanarkshire Education Authority has not yet sought my approval for a site on which to build this new school or for its cost. The estimated roll for the school is 1,750. I understand that the Authority hopes to start building in April, 1968, and to complete the school in May, 1970.
