HC Deb 03 May 1962 vol 658 c153W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Education what steps he has taken during the last three months to promote education in swimming for children attending schools under his authority and to provide swimming pools and other facilities for the practice of swimming, indicating the places and sizes of such pools and facilities.

Sir D. Eccles

Thirty-seven covered and heated swimming baths were under construction at the end of December last. Twelve more have been approved since then. I am sending the hon. Member a list with details.
