Phasing out of this system will have to be postponed if financial or other difficulties delay completion of the building programme. The projected costs shown for 1983 are lower than those for 1979 because census projections indicate that there will be fewer children in the relevant age groups in 1983.
3.23 The figures in the preceding paragraphs indicate the cost of the proposals set out in this Paper at mid-1974 prices. It should be emphasized that no allowance has been included for inflation, nor for the recent salary increases approved for the public service and aided schools.
