HC Deb 27 November 1969 vol 792 c122W
54. Mr. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will make a statement on the provision of a new day school for sub-normal pupils in the county borough of Sunderland.

Miss Bacon

A proposal to build a new day school for 160 educationally subnormal pupils has been put forward by the Sunderland local education authority for the period subsequent to 1970–71. My right hon. Friend has told authorities that a design list of special school building projects will be announced by next spring as the basis for the programme for 1971–72. The Sunderland proposal will be carefully considered when the list is drawn up.
