Mr. Raison

The amounts allocated are as follows:

1971–72 £11.4m.
1972–73 £13.8m.

The figures are at 1973 prices, and for building starts in the years indicated. Those for the first three years include £1.6 million, £2.3 million and £2.9 million respectively from the special building programme for raising the school leaving age. The 1973–74 programme is subject to the effects of the rephasing announced in Circular 12/73.
