HC Deb 19 February 1970 vol 796 c166W
53. Mr. Ian Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will investigate the possibility of arranging for the production locally within the United Kingdom of the prefabricated youth centres now being distributed on a large scale to local communities in France, details of which have been sent to him.

Miss Lestor

No. So far as I can tell from the information sent to my right hon. Friend, these buildings do not have any important advantages over the various industrialised systems developed in this country. The Department is always ready to give advice on these matters to youth clubs, which may be considering new premises.

54. Mr. Ian Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the average cost of youth centres to which his Department has made a contribution during the calendar years 1968 and 1969.

Miss Lestor

About £5,500.
