HC Deb 18 July 1960 vol 627 c15W
Sir F. Markham

asked the Minister of Education if he will invite the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research to make inquiries into temperature humidity and glare conditions in classrooms where the southern walls are totally or almost totally glazed.

Sir D. Eccles

Existing knowledge, founded on research and experience, provides an adequate basis for the design of classrooms in these respects. The Building Research Station of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research has given much valuable help on these and other aspects of school building since the war, and my officers keep in close touch with the Station.
