HC Deb 03 March 1971 vol 812 c453W
Mr. Alexander Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, if the money allocated for the year 1971–72 for primary school building, how much is being allocated for the Lanarkshire Education Comittee area.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Education authorities are normally given a single allocation to cover both primary and secondary school building. The 1971–72 figure for Lanarkshire is £2.77 million. The Authority has, however, been given a supplementary allocation of £0.4 million to enable them to make a start with the provision of accommodation needed for the reduction of class sizes in primary schools in advance of the main allocations for 1972–73 for primary school improvement.
