HC Deb 18 July 1978 vol 954 c214W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what revisions have been made since the Cowan report gave an estimate of £3¼ million-£3¾ million of the likely cost of converting the selective to a comprehensive system of secondary education.

Mr. Carter

It will not be possible to make a precise estimate of the capital cost of the restructuring of secondary education until the detailed planning exercise, which is being conducted by the area boards in consultation with local interests and the schools concerned, has been completed.
