§ 1. Mr. Eric Fletcherasked the Minister of Education what is the prescribed number of shower baths to be provided by a local educational authority in a boarding school for 250 boys in accordance with the Ministry's standards.
§ The Minister of Education (Mr. Tomlinson)The number prescribed in the regulations, one shower for every five boys, was based on the assumption that boarding facilities would normally be provided in houses or hostels not accommodating more than about 50 to Too boys each. If boarding accommodation were being provided for as many as 250 boys in a single unit, special consideration would need to be given to the shower provision required.
§ Lieut.-Colonel CorbettHas the Minister of Fuel and Power been consulted in this matter?
§ Mr. TomlinsonNot to my knowledge.
