HC Deb 29 May 1970 vol 801 c588W
Sir E. Boyle

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will state the total value of the major school-building programme approved for each of the years 1965–66, 1966–67, 1967–68, 1968–69, 1969–70 and 1970–71, the value of that part of each programme which will replace existing accommodation, and the size of the primary and secondary school rolls in each year.

Miss Bacon:

Following is the information: for September, 1969 and for June, 1963, June, 1964 and June, 1969.

Estimated numbers of male employees in employment in Wales
(thousands)
June, 1963 669
June, 1964 (a) 672
(b) 673
June, 1969 (a) 618
(b) 620
September, 1969 624

The estimates for June, 1964 (b) and later dates were calculated by a revised method and are not strictly comparable with those for June, 1964 (a) and June 1963. The estimates for June, 1969 (b) and September 1969 include improved information about the location of employees in the distributive trades and are not fully comparable with those for earlier dates.
