Primary Education: Motion.
If that means using some of the proceeds of the national lottery to complete the refurbishment programme, let us do so. We did it before, as the Minister of State knows, between 1987 and 1989 when some of the proceeds of the national lottery were invested in the health services. The Government should invest part of the proceeds of the national lottery in education so that the refurbishment of schools can be completed. This has been an ongoing matter of contention between the Government and the people. I would support such a move and would like to hear the Minister of State's view on it.
