HC Deb 26 June 1990 vol 175 c123W
Dr. Kim Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) if he has any plans to help fund the replacement of dilapidated temporary classrooms with permanent structures in Mid Glamorgan;

(2) what plans the Welsh Office has for helping Mid Glamorgan county council to meet its ongoing annual commitment on repairs and maintenance of the county's schools;

(3) if any provision will be made for the captial building programme to provide funds to replace any of the Mid Glamorgan schools.

Sir Wyn Roberts

Local education authorities are responsible for the provision, repair and maintenance of their schools. As in previous years the level of potential capital investment for 1990–91 is sufficient to enable all Welsh education authorities, including Mid Glamorgan county council to continue to meet their obligations according to their own priorities. Nationally the 1990–91 capital settlement included an allowance of £53.7 million
