HC Deb 05 March 1964 vol 690 c260W
Mr. Duffy

asked the Minister of Education how many schoolchildren in the area covered by the Colne Valley constituency are dependent on outside earth closets.

Sir E. Boyle

I understand that no schools in the area have earth closets.

Mr. Duffy

asked the Minister of Education what percentage of primary schools in the area covered by the Colne Valley constituency still has outdoor lavatories.

Sir E. Boyle

I understand from the local education authority that the proportion of primary schools with some outside lavatories is 54 per cent. This proportion will be reduced to 29 per cent. under current minor works programmes.
