§ Mrs. Hartasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a further statement on the accommodation at present existing in primary and secondary schools in East Kilbride.
§ Mr. NobleWith the exception of Kirktonholme Primary School, where I regret that 90 places in temporary classrooms were not taken into account, the accommodation, including accommodation in practical rooms, is as stated in my reply to the hon. Lady of 8th July. In secondary departments, it is my Department's practice to reckon the total number of places. The number of pupils they will accommodate varies to some extent according to the school organisation and the type of courses; on the average about one and two-thirds places are required per pupil.
