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

asked the Minister of Education if he will invite the Royal Fine Art Commission to visit and report upon schools built since 1957, with particular reference to their architectural style and aesthetic value.

Sir D. Eccles

It is always open to local education authorities and school governors to consult the Royal Fine Art Commission and the Commission can ask to be consulted if it considers it desirable. I see no need, however, for an inquiry of the kind suggested by my hon. and gallant Friend. His views about the architectural style and aesthetic value of new schools are not shared by most good judges.
