§ 1. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Education if he has considered the new method of constructing schools prefabricated swimming baths; and to what extent he plans to have this method used in schools under the jurisdiction of his Department.
§ The Minister of Education (Sir David Eccles)I am not aware of the method to which the hon. and learned Member refers. If he will let me have particulars, I will have inquiries made.
§ Mr. HughesIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that that is a very surprising reply having regard to the resources at his disposal? Will he inquire from his own experts about this method, which is well-known and well-recommended for its efficiency?
§ Sir D. EcclesThe Ministry of Education is not perfect. We are grateful to the hon. and learned Gentleman. A prefabricated swimming bath sounds very interesting.
