HC Deb 19 December 1972 vol 848 cc340-1W
76. Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales of the £15 million per annum expenditure proposed for nursery school building in the White Paper of 1972, what proportion is earmarked for Welsh expenditure; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Thomas

This is still to be decided.

77. Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what amount his Department will receive for secondary school rebuilding from the White Paper's stated £10 million for each of the years 1975 and 1976.

Mr. Peter Thomas

£1 million in each year.

Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many pre-1903 schools are scheduled for replacement by 1977; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Thomas

About 150 pre-1903 primary schools will be replaced through projects in the major school building programmes relating to starts up to 1974–75. About 80 more such projects are likely to be programmed between 1975 and 1977. In addition a considerable number of schools will also be improved under the annual minor works programmes.
