HC Deb 25 July 1968 vol 769 c160W
49. Mr. Carlisle

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why he has reduced the educational building programme for Cheshire from £4½ million to £2½ million; and what will be the effect of this reduction on the county council's school building programme.

Miss Bacon

The Cheshire Authority wanted to start projects valued at £4½ million in 1968–69 but we were able to authorise only £2½ million. But this will mean that the most urgent projects will start in this year and I shall of course consider the others when the Authority submit their revised proposals for 1969–70.

50. Mr. Carlisle

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why he has not included in the education building programme for Cheshire a new Roman Catholic-aided primary school for Stockton Heath which has been asked for by the County Education Authority in each of the years 1966–67, 1967–68 and 1968–69.

Miss Bacon

The Cheshire Authority did not submit the project for the revised 1968–69 building programme.
