HC Deb 12 March 1975 vol 888 c152W
63. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many extra classrooms can be provided in Shetland with a grant of £9,000 for school building.

Mr. William Ross

This is a partial allocation intended for minor improvements. Zetland Education Authority has been informed that it will be increased if as a result of North Sea oil-related developments a need for extra accommodation emerges beyond that for which provision has already been made in the current year.
