Grammar School Places, Gateshead

66.

Mr. J. T. Hall
asked the Minister of Education what number of grammar school places will be made available in Gateshead as a result of the building programme for 1954 and 1955.

Mr. Pickthorn
My right hon. Friend did not include any grammar school projects in the authority's programmes for 1954 or 1955 because they already have under construction a secondary school which will double the number of maintained grammar school places in the area.
