asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what proposals he has received from the Nottinghamshire county council for the building of new schools in (a) the city of Nottingham and (b) the remainder of Nottinghamshire.

I understand that the Nottinghamshire local education authority is reviewing its school building programme: it has not yet informed the Department of Education and Science which major projects, if any, it is proposing to start during 1980–81.
