HC Deb 28 January 1974 vol 868 c17W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he can now state what effect the recently announced public expenditure cuts are likely to have on the building of primary schools in Wales.

Mr. Peter Thomas

The replacement or improvement of pre-1903 schools included in the design and starts lists of the 1973–74 major school building programmes will now be deferred unless an authority can justify the inclusion of any improvement project in the basic need programme.
