§ 62. Mr. John Huntasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he is satisfied with the standards laid down by his Department for the provision of parking spaces in connection with the construction of new schools; and if he will make a statement.
§ Miss BaconYes. The capital allocation for every new school building contains an element for car-parking spaces designed to cater for essential users. Additional spaces could only be provided at the expense of educational needs and I am not prepared to allow a further diversion of educational funds for this purpose.
