22. Sir J. HASLAM (for Sir THOMAS ROSBOTHAM)

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the Norris Green Housing Estate, Liverpool, with a population of 30,000, of which 10,000 are scholars attending the schools in the area, are not provided with swimming-baths facilities and the children are deprived of swimming instruction and recreation; and will he confer with the local authority concerned with a view to facilitating this work?

Sir H. YOUNG

As my hon. Friend is aware, the provision of a swimming bath is a matter within the discretion of the city council, but I am communicating with them to ascertain the present circumstances.
