within the Greater London area; and what are the special facilities and extra resources made available to such areas which are not available to other areas.
§ Miss Margaret JacksonNo education priority areas have been designated in any part of the country by the Government. However, extra assistance has been and is still being given to local education authorities with special social needs in a variety of ways, such as the urban aid programme and Section 11 of the Local Government Act 1966. Allowances additional to normal salaries are paid to teachers in social priority schools designated by the Burnham Committee. In the allocation of capital resources for the improvement of school buildings and the provision of nursery education, priority has been given to projects which will serve areas of special social need identified by local education authorities. Local education authorities operate procedures of their own for weighting the allocation of staffing and other resources to schools in accordance with their different needs.
