HC Deb 06 November 1973 vol 863 cc139-40W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will sanction the building of a second high school—or at least four-year school—to serve the needs of Hawick and district.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Roxburgh Education Authority has sought my views on proposed changes in the provision of secondary education that would involve alternative forms of new building in Hawick. I am considering these proposals, one of which was received only at the end of last week. I shall let the hon. Member know the outcome.
