HC Deb 13 October 1969 vol 788 c41W
Mr. David Howell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what provision he makes in the allocation of funds for school buildings as between different areas to take account of the variations in cost per school place throughout the country.

Miss Bacon

National cost limits for school building are designed to enable schools to be built to reasonable standards. My right hon. Friend authorises higher limits for individual projects where difficult site conditions justify this.
