HC Deb 06 November 1975 vol 899 c321W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the capital expenditure on secondary schools in Scotland in each of the last five years; and what is the estimated expenditure for 1976.

Mr. William Ross

For education authority secondary schools the value of building work done, including furniture and professional fees, was as follows:

Calendar Year £ million
1970 201
1971 15.5
1972 16.3
1973 19.7
1974 17.9

The estimated amount for 1975 is £19 million. An estimate for 1976 cannot be made until firm programmes are available of projects to be started by individual education authorities in the financial year 1976–77.
