§ Mr. Barnettasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many children in the Heywood and Royton constituency are being taught in schools whose buildings are more than 50 years old; and what is the average for the country.
§ Mr. CroslandI have no details of the position in the Heywood and Royton constituency. The 1962 School Building Survey showed that at that date 44 per cent. of primary children and 18 per cent. of secondary children in England and Wales were in schools where the oldest main building in use for teaching purposes was built before 1903.
