HC Deb 06 February 1989 vol 146 c565W
Mr. Allan Stewart

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received concerning the case for an extension to Neilston primary school; what response he has made; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

I have considered carefully the representations made by my hon. Friend and the parents and community representatives following the meeting which he kindly arranged about the need for an extension to Neilston primary school. Strathclyde regional council has recently requested that provision be made for a four-classroom extension in its capital allocation for 1989–90, and I expect this request to be considered sympathetically. Authorities should be informed shortly of their capital allocations for next year.
