HC Deb 17 July 1957 vol 573 cc124-5W
Mr. Watkins

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education how many primary and voluntary schools, respectively, are without a piped water supply laid on in the Counties of Merioneth, Montgomery and Radnor and what are the alternative kinds of supply.

Sir E. Boyle

No county or voluntary primary or secondary school in Merioneth is without a piped water supply. Eleven county primary and 14 voluntary primary schools in Montgomeryshire and one voluntary primary school in Radnorshire are without such a supply. I understand that, except for one school in Montgomeryshi7e, to which water is carried by bucket, water is supplied to these schools from springs, pumps and wells. No secondary school in these two counties is without a piped water supply.
