§ Mr. Peter Millsasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science in what way provision of classrooms, showers, toilets and other accommodation at Winkleigh Primary School fall short of the standards laid down by his Department.
§ Mr. Denis HowellI understand from the Devon Authority that the teaching area of the school is 143 square feet (i.e. 4 per cent.) below the minimum standard. The school is short of four toilet fittings and six washbasins and only one washbasin is provided with hot and cold water. The site and hardpaved areas are both below the minimum areas laid down. Meals accommodation is also deficient. There is no staff room or headteacher's room. There is no requirement for showers in a primary school.
