§ Miss Joan LestorThe 1975–76 building year does not expire until 31st March 1976 and the extent to which local education authorities may fail to take up their full allocation cannot be predicted. Firm statements of intended under-use by the amounts shown have been received from the authorities of Devon—£600,000 from an allocation of £3.3 million—and Somerset—£320,000 from £1.3 million. Some other authorities are known to be considering the position.
