HC Deb 20 January 1972 vol 829 cc242-3W
Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she is aware that there is overcrowding of children in the Darfield county primary and infant schools, and, in order to ease that problem as soon as is possible, if she will take steps to bring forward the building date of the new school planned for this area.

Mr. van Straubenzee

A new school to provide additional primary school places needed in Darfield is in the 1971–72 starts programme and I understand from the local education authority that building work is expected to start next month.
