§ 40. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Education what his plans are for increasing swimming instruction and for increasing the number of swimming baths in schools under the jurisdiction of his Department.
§ Sir D. EcclesSwimming instruction is usually given where facilities and staff are available. I am willing to consider proposals for building swimming baths where the bath can be provided either as part of a new school within the normal cost limits or in substitution for playing fields which would otherwise be required under the regulations.
