HC Deb 17 July 1969 vol 787 c150W
65. Mr. Ridsdale

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he is taking to accelerate the primary school building programme in North-East Essex, in view of the overcrowding, of primary schools in this area.

Miss Bacon

New primary schools already authorised in recent programmes will increase accommodation in North-East Essex. My right hon. Friend will shortly announce further projects for the area on which preliminary work may proceed in the expectation that building will start in 1971–72.
