HC Deb 06 March 1962 vol 655 cc60-1W
Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish details of the number of swimming pools which have been incorporated in new school buildings during the last five years, the types of schools involved, and the local education authority in each case.

Mr. Maclay

The following table gives the required information. In addition to school swimming pools listed, 23 more are at various stages of planning.

offenders appearing in court on a criminal charge who have not been admitted to the benefits of the Sheriff Court (Scotland) Act, 1907; and if he will now take steps to introduce at an early date a legal aid scheme which will provide for such offenders.

Mr. Maclay

I understand that the agents for the poor in the Glasgow Sheriff Court have decided to satisfy themselves as to the circumstances of applicants for their services. As regards the second part of the Question, I refer the hon. Member to my Reply to a Question asked by the hon. Member for Edinburgh, West (Mr. Stodart) on 19th December. I am afraid that there is no prospect of legislation for this purpose in the current session of Parliament.
