HC Deb 22 October 1971 vol 823 cc217-8W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if, in view of Her Majesty's Government's announced inten- tion of providing further funds for capital expenditure for public projects, he will now consider providing Cardiganshire Education Authority with sufficient money to enable them to provide one comprehensive school for all the children now educated at Ardwyn and Dinas schools, in order to avoid having a comprehensive school in two parts with a distance of half a mile between them.

Mr. Peter Thomas

The accelerated infrastructure programme that I have already announced relates to projects which are to be substantially completed by March, 1973. The allocation of £280,000 from this programme for secondary buildings at Aberystwyth was in response to the proposals submitted to me by the local education authority and reflects what I could reasonably expect the authority to complete within the time scale of this programme.
