HC Deb 06 March 1984 vol 55 c488W
38. Mr. Tony Lloyd

asked the Secretary of Slate for Education and Science if he is satisfied with the annual spending of local education authorities on repair and maintenance of school buildings.

Mr. Dunn

My right hon. Friend would like to see an improvement in the level of expenditure by local education authorities on the repair and maintenance of school buildings. The plans published in the recent public expenditure White Paper—Cmnd. 9143—allow for such an improvement, provided pay and other costs are contained.
