HC Deb 17 January 1974 vol 867 cc161-2W
Mr. Oakes

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science which school building proposals in the major and minor works programmes within the excepted district of Widnes, Lancashire, will be deferred by the Chancellor's announcement of public spending cuts.

Mr. Raison

One major project at Widnes Bankfield County Secondary School will be delayed until after June 1975.

The local education authority is responsible for deciding which minor works projects at county schools should be carried out within its minor works allocation. My Department has yet to decide whether final approval can be given to a proposed aided minor work at St. Bede's RC School.

Mr. Oakes

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science which school building proposals in the major and minor works programmes within Division No. 16 of Lancashire Education Authority will be deferred by the Chancellor's announcement of public spending cuts.

Mr. Raison

No major school building project in the programme for Division 16 of the Lancashire Education Authority will be delayed under the terms of Circular 15/73, which dealt with projects eligible for approval up to 30th June 1975.

The Lancashire Education Authority is responsible for deciding which minor projects should be carried out within its minor works allocation.
