HC Deb 29 January 1974 vol 868 cc54-5W
32. Mr. Orbach

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will make a statement on the estimated effects of the cuts in public spending on education in the Stockport metropolitan district.

Mr. Raison

The programmed replacement of four primary schools will be deferred until after July 1975, namely:

In the present Stockport county borough area, All Saints Church of England (Controlled) Primary School, St. John's Church of England (Controlled) Primary School, Parish Church Church of England (Controlled) Primary School;

In the present Cheshire County area, Woodford County Primary School.

The local education authorities are responsible for deciding which projects should be carried out within their minor works allocation and for deciding how the necessary savings in recurrent expenditure should be made.
