HC Deb 30 January 1969 vol 776 cc358-9W
37. Mr. Marks

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has considered the proposal by the Manchester Education Committee to grant contracts to a firm for the building of schools where the tender submitted by the firm was not the lowest; and what steps he proposes to take.

Mr. Edward Short

No such proposal is before me. If and when it is made I will consider it closely.
