HC Deb 17 February 1972 vol 831 c150W
52. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many temporary structural classrooms there are in the Mexborough and Staincross divisional education areas; and if she will take steps to have them replaced by permanent structures within the next two years' building programme.

Mr. van Straubenzee

The information asked for in the first part of the Question is not collected by the Department but may be obtainable from the local education authority. The resources available for the replacement of school buildings are being concentrated on primary schools built before 1903.

53. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many children were taking school meals in the Mexborough and Staincross divisional education areas on the last available date; what was the figure two months ago; and what was the figure 12 months earlier.

Mr. van Straubenzee

This information is not available in the Department, whose school meals statistics are normally collected annually and by reference to complete local education authority areas.
