§ 70. Mr. Edwin Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will give the names of the proposed new junior and primary schools scheduled for the Mexborough and District, and the Staincross Divisional Education areas, which were included in the school building programme for the years 1966–67, 1967–68, 1968–69 and 1969–70, respectively; and why the date of the commencement of building of some of these schools has been deferred for an indefinite period.
§ Miss BaconThe following are the twelve schools concerned. Eleven of them were not deferred or are in programmes not later than that of the current year. The twelfth is currently under review. Circulars 6/68 and 13/68, of which I am sending copies to my hon. Friend, explain the general reasons for the deferment of certain projects in the programmes in question.
