§ Dr. Roger Thomasasked the Secretary of State for Wales, for the year 1980–81, how many places for children aged under 5 years his Department allows in its building programme in each of the eight counties; and how many primary school classrooms becoming vacant, with the falling school rolls, have been adapted in each of the eight counties to provide extra places for nursery education for how many infants.
§ Mr. Michael RobertsThe nursery education building programme for 1980–81 was issued not in terms of places, but in the form of financial allocations which were as follows:
£ Clwyd 48,000 Dyfed 42,000 Gwent 59,000 Gwynedd 38,000 Mid Glamorgan 73,000 Powys 23,000 South Glamorgan 42,000 West Glamorgan 36,000 It is for local education authorities to decide what projects to fund from their allocations. The information on adaptations is not held centrally.
