§ Dr. Glynasked the Secretary of State for. Education and Science if she is aware of the concern of parents over the inadequacy of the size and method of rebuilding Braywick Primary School, built in 1819, and to be renamed Oldfield, as a result of a series of minor works, a description of which has been sent to her; and if she will state whether this school qualifies for help under the special allocation made by her for the improvement of old primary schools.
§ Mr. van StraubenzeeBuilding work to replace the school has just begun and is likely to be completed by a further minor project next year. In the circumstances it was not necessary for the local authority to include it in its proposals for the replacement of old primary schools in the major programme, for which it would have been a good candidate in 1973–74. My right hon. Friend will explain the background further in a letter to my hon. Friend.
