§ Mr. Turner-Samuelsasked the Minister of Education whether she is aware of the lack of modern sanitary arrangements in schools in the county of Gloucester and that the present system of sanitation in many of the schools is inadequate; and what steps she proposes to take to deal with this matter.
§ Miss HorsbrughYes, but the local education authority have been making good progress in the last four years, and I do not think that any special action is called for on my part. In 1947 a survey made by the authority showed that sanitary facilities in 258 maintained schools needed improvement. This work has already been completed at 140 schools and is in hand at 25 others.
