HC Deb 02 December 1968 vol 774 cc357-8W
Mr. Simon Mahon

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what study he has made of the principle of allowing a favourable preferential rate of borrowing of capital for the building of voluntary schools, and the re-organisation of such schools in accordance with Government policies; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Edward Short

None. It is not the Government's policy to make loans at a rate lower than the appropriate Government lending rate.
