HC Deb 08 February 1968 vol 758 c203W
53. Mr. Ednyfed Hudson Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how the prospects for comprehensive education at Bangor will be affected by cuts in the school building programme.

Miss Bacon

As my hon. Friend knows, my right hon. Friend's predecessor was not able last year to approve the Caernarvonshire Authority's short-term proposals for secondary reorganisation in Bangor. Draft Notices for a revised scheme have recently been submitted to my Department. But I understand these have not yet been published, and until this has been done and the statutory period for objections has elapsed, it would be premature for me to say what prospect there is of an early start being authorised for the proposed new school at Bangor, or of its being affected by the review of school building starts asked for in Circular 6/68.
