asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will increase the grant to the East Suffolk Education Committee for minor works projects to enable flush lavatories to be installed in all schools; what would be the total cost of installing such conveniences; and if he will give priority to South Elmham All Saints Primary School.

My right hon. Friend does not allocate minor works programmes for specific projects or types of project. Local education authorities decide for themselves the projects to be carried out within the programme allocated to them. I understand that the East Suffolk Local Education Authority has not estimated the cost of installing flush lavatories in all its schools.
