§ Mr. Goodladasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the estimated cost of implementing the present proposals for comprehensive education in the Northwich area.
§ Mr. MulleyI cannot say what would be the cost. Building work is either programmed or proposed for all the schools concerned in the secondary reorganisation proposals for the Northwich area, but most of it involves the provision of additional school places that would be needed whether or not comprehensive education was introduced.
