§ Mr. Tom Kingasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list the number of schemes that have been approved by his Department for which local authorities have been given authority to proceed but which are not being proceeded with because of the financial position of local authorities.
§ Miss Joan LestorThe information requested could not be made available without contacting all local education authorities and at disproportionate cost. If the hon. Gentleman will write to me about any particular schemes which he has in mind I will let him know the position.
