HC Deb 10 March 1965 vol 708 c116W
Mr. Peter Griffiths

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) what representations have been made to his Department about the conditions at the St. Francis Xavier School, Broadwell, Oldbury; and what reply he has sent;

(2) if he is satisfied that the sanitary provisions of St. Francis Xavier School, Broadwell, Oldbury, are adequate for staff and pupils; and if he will make a statement;

(3) under what circumstances his Department approved the provision of new toilets at the St. Francis Xavier School, Broadwell, Oldbury, which will involve small children having to traverse two streets to reach them from their classrooms.

Mr. Crosland

A proposal from the managers of this school to provide four new classrooms reached my Department on the 4th March, 1965, and it is now being considered. A first instalment of a new building for the school which provides a hall, staff room, cloakroom and lavatories is about to be taken into use. Lavatories are also available in the old building and there is no necessity for children to cross roads between the two buildings.
