HC Deb 24 October 1968 vol 770 c329W
59. Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science by what proportion he has reduced this year the school building programme proposed by the Buckinghamshire County Council; and what is the comparable proportionate reduction for England and Wales as a whole.

Miss Bacon

I have authorised the Buckinghamshire authority to start just over 50 per cent. in value of the major school building projects which they submitted for the revised programme for 1968–69. The comparable percentage for England and Wales is about the same.
