§ 44. Mr. Scottasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how the £21.6 million added to the major school building programme for 1968–69 to meet an excess of starts over the authorised total in 1967–68 was divided between primary and secondary schools, and between basic needs and improvements and replacements.
