§ Mrs. Jeger
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he expects work to start on the new National Library.

§ Mr. Mulley
As stated in reply to a question from my hon. Friend on 1st April 1976, work on the detailed design of the new buildings is going forward with a view to a start on the construction of a substantial first phase in 1979–80 if economic conditions at that time permit.—[Vol. 908, c.570–71.]
