To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make it his policy to approve capital funding for the provision of a new county primary school at Landkey, north Devon.

The building of a new school, or a significant enlargement to the existing school, at Landkey will require the publication of statutory proposals. No statutory proposals of this kind are currently before my right hon. Friend for decision. Priority is given in the distribution of annual capital guidelines for new school places needed as a result of population growth.
