§ 40. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Education if he is aware of the dearth of swimming pools in the schools under his Department; and if he will state his policy for increasing the number of such pools.

EcclesIn the normal way schools use public swimming facilities, but, in exceptional circumstances, I am willing to consider proposals for building a swimming bath specially for school children where it can be provided either as part of a new school within the normal cost limits, or in substitution for playing fields.
