HC Deb 03 April 1958 vol 585 cc1360-1
18. Mr. Sumner

asked the Minister of Education what schools have been, or are being, provided at the public expense with flats or other similar accommodation for the purpose of instruction in homecraft and not for occupation; and what is the total cost of providing and equipping such accommodation.

Sir E. Boyle

Most post-war secondary schools for girls include a small training "flat" as part of their provision for teaching housecraft. Six hundred pounds would normally cover the building and equipping of a typical "flat".
