HC Deb 15 April 1970 vol 799 cc252-4W
Mr. Tinn

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many applications have been made by the North Riding County Council for a share of the £15 million which he has set aside for the replacement of old and grossly sub-standard premises; and for which schools they have applied.

The North Riding local education authority put forward 11 projects, at an estimated total cost of about £706,000, for an allocation from the £15 million available for improvements and replacements in the 1971–72 starts programme. The schools were:

  1. 1. Strensall (Controlled) Primary School.
  2. 2. Catterick, Le Cateau County Junior School.

  9. 9. Graham Sea Training School, Scarborough.
  10. 10. Boosbeck County Primary School.
