HC Deb 02 December 1968 vol 774 c358W
Mr. Simon Mahon

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is aware of the need for primary school provision in the parish of St. Richard's, Bootle; and when he estimates that such educational requirements will be met.

Miss Bacon

The Bootle Authority have recently submitted fresh proposals for building a new school in this parish. But I am still awaiting the supporting information and I cannot say what conclusions I shall reach on the proposals.

Mr. Simon Mahon

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many additional temporary classrooms have been erected to accommodate pupils in St. Monicas Primary School, Bootle; how many children are now in these classrooms; and how much grant from the Government or the local authority was given towards the cost of such educational provision.

Miss Bacon

Three temporary classrooms, currently accommodating 108 children, have been erected at this school. No grant was given from public funds towards the cost of the classrooms, but the local authority are responsible for their maintenance.
