HC Deb 08 November 1948 vol 457 cc161-2W
Commander Maitland

asked the Minister of Education in how many primary and secondary schools of all types special rooms are set aside and equipped as libraries; and if he will state the percentage of each type of school so equipped.

Mr. Tomlinson

The great majority of grammar schools and a proportion of other types of secondary schools are equipped with a library, but exact figures of the number of schools so equipped are not available. Primary schools do not normally have a special room set aside for this purpose.
